Canto XIV

October

I tangle

I detangle

But I can’t escape this tango

Sometimes I feel so close to let you go

To set myself free from the constant torture

From the constant questioning

But when I see you,

All questions become meaningless

A greater thought overtakes my mind

The thought of us

And what that could look like

We are so different and yet so similar

The tangle and detangle keeps knotting deeper

I wish I could see things a little more clear

But through the eyes of love

A heart in despair fogs my vision.

I know that love can build or destroy

I’m hiding in a Trojan Horse

I know it will be a challenge

But I want your heart

Gifted or captured

You name your choice

Wanting is a greed that never voiced my voice

Maybe I want the impossible

Too much, too quick

I want to swallow you

Even at the cost of choking.
