SENT
TO ME BY A FRIEND
Torn is the mind between love and obligation
Between
relationships and temptation
Between tranquility and
indignation.
Torn is the heart for its want of love, Its
desire for passion and heaven above,
The untold
ecstasies that it dreams of.
The heart wishes not to
hurt those it would treasure,
But craves another with
tenderness beyond measure,
Yearning for warmth,
affection, and pleasure.
Torn is the soul between duty
and elation,
Thirsting to be free from life's
desolation,
Torn, between
PARADISE AND DAMNATION.
