A Generic Account Of Desire

Brainofdz

Desperatly grasping in the dark
He seeks her comforting touch
to be taken in her loving arms
and melt into one perfect being
Everyday, he awakes to brisk silence
and aches for her
He washes up, eats, and gets dressed
Gotta keep busy, keep my mind occupied
He puts the radio on
A wistful song song of love unfulfilled
blares from the speakers
and a tear forms in the corner of his eye
Where are you my sweet girl?
I really need you
One day bleeds into another
and the lonely numbness gains momentum
like an albatross around his neck
He tries powders, pills, and drink
to forget this torment
He hugs his velour blanket
and looks at the starry sky
One day she'll hear me
One day she will come

she hears him call from far away
she hears her response, one day one day
she knows he aches
she feels it too
they want it all, the dream come true
she whispers whispers, one day one day
she hopes he can hold on despite the delay
she knows in each other's arms they'll become one
two hearts they'll beat just like a drum
slowly slowly don't let go
she reaches out into the dark
he's already left upon her soul his mark
though some days she feels buried alive
clawing through dirty and deceitful lies
the light shines through, she knows
one day, one day will be today.

Both awesome poems of longing, and regret, and hope. I love the way Cate played off the first one.
