Why is life so pitiless as to place you so near to me - and yet so far? The vindictiveness of the Gods – Perhaps in a past life I was King Tantalos, still deserving of the wrath only I can incur. You stand before me like Low hanging fruit – yet out of my reach. Instead of taunting me with water In this life the Gods are taunting me - with you. It doesn’t matter how badly I yearn To nibble your neck, Feel your arms around me Satiate myself with the warmth of your laughter, intelligence your soul. OH NO! I can’t touch you. kiss you. lick you. I’m not the one scratching your back… I can only watch As you walk away with another.
