Realistic Fantasy
Fantastic Reality
To bring them together
Been trying forever
But only half-assed
Forgetting the past
Plagued by the present
Always so hesitant
Procrastination hinders
Burning plans to cinders
My mind keeps working
Thoughts always lurking
Planning and thinking
Not ever drinking
Drugs have no use
Refusing abuse
Life gets me high
Don’t really know why
Glad to be drug free
Something else binds me
Instincts from deep down
Spin my head around
Must nurture and protect
Emotionally wrecked
Let them know I care
If life’s too much to bear
This hypersexed society
Says that’s not right for me
A touch without attraction
Brings confused reaction
They feel uncomfortable
Like it’s impossible
To freely give affection
Without a ‘love connection’
Won’t steal comfort away
Just to make my day
So, I must resist
Touch painfully missed
For that is how I heal
Starving just to feel
A hug, a kiss
Is sorely missed
Unrequited feelings
Without healing
Confusion, emptiness
Hesitance, loneliness
