The separation never seemed so endless.
As they infect me
With manners
And syntax
And knowledge,
Discontentment injects me
With her syringe of remorse.
Desire flows through my every vein,
Consumes me.
How could I live without your touch
And how could I live without my soul?
How could you find the strength
To leave me behind
When our every thought and word
Are intertwined? -
As are bodies are now -
One.
You are all I want-
All I’ve ever longed for.
You are more than
Knowledge and worldly wisdom.
For what is knowledge compared to love?
Have your dream.
Go on, and chase it.
Only- allow me to chase mine as well.
Allow me you.
That is all I’ve ever asked for.
Author notes
This may not depict the agony of despair, but it attempts to depict the agony of an unfulfilled desire.

nice use of the topic. I truly enjoyed reading this, and although it is about despair somehow it made me smile. Great write
-
excellent imagery
A most excellent write when you look at its premise. A torn soul reaching out to be held yet not returned you can almost taste the despair in the words they flow so well. -

Unfulfilled desire
That phrase alone adds depth. I feel a sad song along with The Lover's Plea. Gawd I'm too emotional. Well written. *sigh*
