![]() WantingA Poem by C.J.G.“What do you want?” He says to me as I brush the tears from my eyes “Just tell me what you want.” Can’t he see? Behind this confident, grounded exterior I have an incessant war between my mind and my heart I have confusion running through my veins I hold frustration that builds with every inhale “What do you want?” His voice whispers into the depth on my soul “Just tell me.” If only I could tell myself Make up this mess of a mind for myself To just vocalize these intangible feelings. This war is spreading through my body with each step From the tips of my dainty fingers to the ends of my overworked toes. Why can’t peace just wash over this tired body? Calm the nerves that are always on edge Why can’t I just be sure for once? Slow the beat of my interminably racing heart. “Just tell me what you want.” The answer is forever locked inside me. © 2010 C.J.G.Reviews
