Resentment

From such great heights

I'm resolved, to give you my life

With hungry eyes longing, I stare up from my pit, to your pinnacle

Hope and beauty to shed light into a cavernous heart

It is your face that is all that is beautiful.

Self-repressed desire, and forlorn lust

I wish I could say you still give me butterflies,

But it's too dark in me for them to thrive

It’s the flutter of bat's wings in my guts

They awake and fly at your soft touch

Don't worry dear, it is your love,

That causes life in me to wake up.
