fear/desire

by Bob Gramatges on January 24, 2010

eluded
by a kiss goodnight
but not
by my desire

it’s become
my undoing

the more
i push away
the harder
i fall

i’m afraid

that one day
i wont be able
to pick myself up
off the ground

that my desire
will become a fantasy

that my demons
will succeed
in painting
my heart
black

i wanna live
i wanna love
but
i don’t know how

all i know
is my fear
and it scares me
to death.
