Dark Thoughts
by Patt Paulos-Darrow
Dusk has hit and with it somber thoughts.
Can't stand the idea of closing my eyes.
Fear of bottomless pain.
Making it without you is unbearable.
I am like a man on an island.
Completely isolated and tormented.
Knowing what it out there, but not within my reach.
I lie back on my bed trying to hold in the racking sobs.
Confusion, your last name is Ellison.
I have tried to remove these thoughts from my brain.
But the hunger in me, is stronger.
I crave your smile.
I wish to see your body.
I pine for the love we might have.
I need you.
I want to claim you.
Never ever thought I would feel so impassioned about anyone.
It is pure torture, holding the tears off.
Why is this so complex for me?
I don't want to be in my solitary world anymore.
I want to join yours.
