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.
