Because It's Wrong?

Because It's Wrong?

I know the rules

the possibilities

and all the reasons why.

I thought I would be too wise

I was wrong!

The knowledge brings reality

but it doesn't ease the wanting, 

the needing, the ache.

Textbook fantasy

fuelled by all that I need

and all that you give.

You give me hope and comfort,

long after your presence has gone

But how could you know

the fool that I feel

when I can't meet your eye?

Could you ever guess

the fear, that you might see

what's there behind my smile?

The panic that soon

you will be gone from me

and I will be left wanting,

needing, aching

for all of my life.

I love it :) Really good job :)

This was a beautifully expressive write, filled with such longing and emotion. The wanting and aching for what may soon slip away. You fill your poem with a sense of history and life in this relationship. So well written!
