Can't Let Go

Have you ever wanted something you can't touch?

Yet it touches you, in your thoughts and even in your dreams

To want it is suicide, but you keep bringing it up, keeping walking the line

Life is a twisted paradox with complicated feelings and confusion

In the quiet moments of nothingness, he appears in my thoughts

Lingering and tempting me to turn back, to want to want him

To reach out and talk, but I can never get past, 'Hello, my name is ...'

Why do I hold on when I ought to let go?

Why can't I let it shake?

My heart beats faster, hope rising, why oh why do I do this?

He still has a hold over me and I just can't seem to let go ...

This is real, something I am feeling right now.  Part of me doesn't want to let go, but I know that he is bad news, but I still want to want him.
