Fractured

I knew it was over the moment
I wished I'd never met you.
Wished I'd never wept because
you kept me at arm's length,
but wouldn't let me go.
I'm tired of this one way river
of love, tears and anguish.
I could have floated to you on it by now,
but you are gravity, resistant,
you are stone, immovable.
Why do you want to keep knowing me,
knowing how I feel,
knowing you won't ever
give me what I long for?
Don't you know it's breathless torture?
You're beautiful inside,
you make trying to let go of you
a twisting, broken impossibility.
I'm slapped,lacerated, but keep coming back,
my head up, my heart an open wound.
Love will fight until it's heart gives out.
