I longed for it
I worked for it
And I earned it
I waited for it
I've been patient
And patience is not one of my virtues
He is my virtue and I am his vice
I waited so long for him
Cried for him
Died for him
And I would do it all again
He is my redemption and I am his sin
He's always there
In the back of my mind
And the thought of him always lures me in
His eyes shine bright like the sun
And I feel like Icarus melting off his wings whenever I look into them
I melt and I fall and I drown
In the ocean of deepest blue
His smile makes my knees go weak
And I stumble over my words when I try to speak
I keep a memory burnt behind my eyelids
So that I see him whenever I close my eyes
His voice is like liquid gold that I'd like to drown in
It's like velvet to touch
Woven out of comfort and care and good intentions
He is my demise
My sweetest pain
So close, yet too far to grasp
And I'll keep on yearning for him
Longing for him
Waiting for him
And maybe one day
I'll deserve him.
~ why do I always yearn for those that i can't have? I guess I'm broken in some way, but the question is - can I ever be repaired? 8/2020
