walking the surreal

I want what I cannot have
And this desire,
This overwhelming longing
Is a living, breathing thing
Having taken up residence
Throbbing within my breast
Never ceasing in its demands
To be reckoned with

It is impossible
I cannot acquiesce
For in doing so
The ramifications would be vast
Tearing through too many lives
As if a nuclear blast
An emotional incineration
Of souls I hold dear

Yet, all said and done
I will not banish the beast
For his company I've come to love
In the far recesses of my heart
Where sense is not acknowledged
And in his loss I would despair
Drowining in an emptiness
Leaving me lost inside
And that I could not bear

And so I'll want
Yet never acquire
For in truth
When spoken aloud
I've all I truly desire
But to have that want
To walk with his company
It reminds me I'm alive
It reminds me to breathe.

S.A.T.
