Why does a normal thing seem so wrong?
I think about a female, and yet critized for it as well,
even though I love a man, the urge for a woman is so strong,
I don't know why it is, yet everyone says that it will pass,
I don't want it to pass, I want the touch of a woman
like any other man
I get harsh looks for looking at a female
when all of my thoughts are sometimes innocent
and yet not so innocent
Why was I brought up to believe
that the most primal singular urge of a male
is the one that is most abhorred
I see people all around me living their life unashamed
yet every time I appreciate or want a woman in my life
only to be confronted with etiquette, chivalry and honor.
When can I express the want for a woman, when all of them are taken,
yet when I find them, loathing parasites calling themselves men
men who show women what they want to see, and then
don't even keep their end of the deal when they marry them
and honor and love them after the altar.
Is it so hard to find something that you want?
I cared for a man, even though I wasn't ready for a relationship
I told myself, he would help, and he has
but he can't replace that feeling, that kind of bliss
He argued with logic, that the difference
between a man and a woman is only in the parts,
yet the feeling says so much more,
I love him dearly, yet tempted every day,
so here I stay, stuck with a desire
that probably will never be quenched
Please tell me what you think

Geeesh, very well written and it seems to me that if you truly are not happy and satisfied with the relationship...leave. IF he moved into your place, kick him out. unless of course you like this torture that you expressed above.

lovely
this is a very wonderful write, full of emotional detail. i can feel the turmoil within you. And i definitely agree that this poem is very ironic, as you are facing a stigma that many people find as their normal way of life...well written...keep up the good work -
Incredible write. Very raw and full of emotion. Nicely done. I love this line...loathing parasites calling themselves men...
Amazing piece of work

hmmmm
Do you truly wish for this thirst to be quenched or is it apealing because you can't have it? Because you can not taste it, it seems all that more tasteful to you. You reach for something so hard and yet when you reach it the taste is bitter in your mouth. Your looking so hard for somthing that is right in front of you but because it is within your grasp it hold no joy for you. I think the problem is not that you are being held back but that you truly do not know for what you wish. Every time you get to close to having something you have wanted, and it seems perfect to you then it becomes something you have to run from. Are you not as the sme as theese men you so badly speak of you say you love a man yet you are so looking for somthing other than he. Are you not doing to him what has been done to theese pathic excuses of women you suround your self with. It is so easy to want to want something to want to help some one els then you do not have to work on your problems, you do not have to work on you. You can forget for a time that there is some one who loves you and who you have told you love too. And in that time of forgetting you are just as loathsome as the men you spoke of. It matters not if you love a man or a woman just you keep to what you say, you feel and mean. the poem was very well done again i say your good at free style writing. -
ironic
it is rather ironic when the social standard is fought over relationships being man & woman... and then... here you are... being in the crowd of same sex, feeling wrong for something that has been so natural and as you say 'normal' for so many years. well put. thank you. very good read. i just hope one day you get the chance to quench your thirst.
