An aching thumping rattle
Longing, wanting, needing
Stomach in Knots tied till threads rip
A soul mate, loveless for any other
Two souls to be made whole
Yet
Soul mate lost but never found
A surrogate made and mutilated
Real feelings dashed for fiction
Illusion smashed, hollowed heart
Surrogate lost, soul mate shattered
Manifested for warmth and love
A myth made with flesh as clay
A myth sustained for hope
A myth abandoned for progress
Living hollow, living without a whole soul
Walking to tomorrow with the specter of longing
Tempted, ever so tempted
The heat is corrupted hope, forbidden by cost
Oh how hard it is to walk with the shadow of forbidden longing
Words Left Along
