The voice of reason
speaks from the darkness,
but the mist of excuses
shadow my vision,
confusing the issues.
The clouds of desire
rain fiery acid
upon my heart
proclaiming my
unattainable need!
And a scream
so silently unrelenting
in its pain,
even the deafness
of lust's fanaticism
cannot ignore it.

Disbelief!
Immune to the touch
of words and flesh...
FEAR makes rescue
impossible.
Risks cannot be contemplated
where there is no hope.

Emotions so basic
there is no resistance
blossom in my heart
like TNT explosions!
Fundamental joy and
tenderness
giving way to
the revelation...

The logical conclusion.
A rude and lewd awakening.
betrayed by the word (friendship)
destroyed by its implication
despairing of its finality....

And the question always asked
yet never answered.
"why is it so easy
to walk away from me?
