Love Poem: Desires In the Void

Desires In the Void

Make it your focal point,
Wishing into the void.
I have cloned you,
Holding onto visions,
Were they real?

Working backward,
Swimming against the tide,
Organizing the pages,
Slight distraction,
Distant flame through my eyes.

Obsession too close,
Never within the skin,
Possible shout-out,
Can my words be heard?

Is there one that we connect to?
Words "I'd do anything" haven't rung so true,
Fleeting moments of stolen glances,
Perfectly felt embrace and saw you question,
Confusion across the beauty,
Crush of circumstance.

Audience of none,
Own doing slamming against the contradition,
A lost cause, no doubt,
Moments too strong,
...seen

Cold harsh reality hits,
I've chosen what's in front of me,
You are not here,
You'll never be.
