What a world I live in
To experience emotions as powerfully as I do
My sadness is not an ache in my heart
With mascara tracks running down
It is deep, mournful, body-shaking sobs
Oceans of clear tears streaming from reddened green eyes
My anger is not a flickering flame of annoyance
Nor a clenched body needing a release
But an entirely enveloping wildfire
Blinding me from reason and logic
And neither is my love just comfort
Or a desire to care and be cared for
But a presence that encapsulates every thought
Every movement, every moment, defined by desire
Oh, it is a poet's dream
And a woman's curse

Or a desire to care and be cared for
But a presence that encapsulates every thought
Every movement, every moment, defined by desire
Oh, it is a poet's dream
And a woman's curse
