Desire
This isn’t fair.
I just want to get rid of you, to be free.
I can wade the tides for a little while, only becoming a little flustered.
But then a storm begins.
The lighting strikes as the waves come crashing over my head.
They push me off the coast, plunging my fragile body deeper into the water.
My addiction becomes stronger as I drown in an ocean of you.
The invisible shackles on my wrists burn deep below my skin, setting fire to my soul.
I will sacrifice everything just to be through with you.
I run as fast as I can from you, but I know how tricky you are.
I’m pulled in by your conniving ways.
You are around every corner, waiting to push me down again.
Waiting to throw me back into your ocean.
You cover every inch of my flesh, placing tight constrictions on my chest.
My heart tries its hardest to beat, but you suffocate it, my blood no longer flowing.
I am addicted to you.
Your devious smile shows me how pleased you are as my screams turn to sobs, wanting to be released.
I’m ashamed of myself, and I know that I can beat this.
I’m going to run away completely, to start a new life.
I break free from your release, my legs alternating their pattern as they hit the ground.
I enjoy the feeling of fresh air, cold as it may be, as it whips by my face.
I don’t need you. I can survive on my own.
But now I crave you once again as I smell your sweet aroma, following not too far behind.
I can hear the crash of waves, taste the salt of the ocean in the air, feel your presence.
You make me a sinner, you make me a liar.
But you are my only desire.
