Desire |
| by Kate |
You can live your whole life asleep,
Accepting the compartment, mirroring the stereotype.
It's easy and comforting and meaningless to be taken,
locked in by their love.
But desire is awake now in me;
My eyes are open.
Hope,
with teeth as sharp as memory gnaws at my soul;
And passion,
clear as starlight, real as dreams,
coaxes me out of the box.
I want to walk on wet grass with naked feet,
and chase morning from pole to pole.
If I go, will you follow?
I'm afraid to be alone.
Love in the dark always means more.
Catch me.
I'm ready to fall.
