Waging Seas

We never meant for this to happen

For it to go so far

Malicious and heart wrenching

Are our corrupted memories

Your face pops in and out

I try unceasingly

To rid of it

Push every thought of you out of my mind

But no matter what I do

To busy myself

Distract myself

You come back

Your gorgeous eyes memorized

Every speck of gold

Every eyelash

Every in take of breath

Captivated in stolen moments of nonsense

You stir these feelings inside me….

Breaking me open

This bridge on opposite ends

Meant to be cut, severed

Never to be crossed

Never to be mended

You have her; I have him

Enough

Because every time we meet

You ignite, against every fiber of my being, a fire inside me

Burning deep

Waiting to be put out

Turned to ice, turned to hate

But you stand so close sometimes

A bittersweet longing

In those non-existent touches

Out of your grasp

Dangerously poisoning

Are our little games

We try to ignore those locked gazes

Those outreached hands

Those distorted thoughts

That we become lost in

Because you take it so freely

All of it, every last bit

In one bite

In one moment in time

Taking what was always yours to begin with

Coping with the loss of my being

The blood loss

The mind aching regiment of your face

Of your eyes

Of that smile that makes my day

Diabolical are we

Caught in our own web

Randomly weaved

When will it end?

This heartache

Tell me

I entreat

Tell me, please

When will it end?

This thing

Say when

Say now

My knees are about to give out

When will it end?

These memories

These stolen moments

These horrible mistakes

Tell me, please

I beg you

Because I’m about to give up

I need you ….........to tell me

Please

Put me out of my misery

Tell me how long I have to wait

Tell me it needs to end right now

So late

Tell me, love, tell me

When will it end?

Say it

Please, say it

Say now

Say it ends now
