desire
April 16, 2024
they tell me to use my head for once.
“think through it first”
and they leave me quite
confused as to what i
should be thinking through.
oh yes, it’s a terrible, terrible thing,
desire,
that wrathful tangle of thorns around
sleeping beauty’s castle.
“you can’t get what i'm trying to protect”
yet i want it so much that
my heart itself is punching me forward
and now my eyes are bleeding
because they’ve been scratched by that
terrible, terrible thing.
yes, they tell me to think through it but
i can hardly even see through it,
this pinkness, this haze.
how beautiful it seems, despite
being an open wound;
perhaps desire is where the danger
both begins and ends.
oblivion, after all,
is bliss.
