Seed

Will you grow or will I die?

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

All I want

All I’ve ever wanted

I’m too afraid to seek

Whether you’re close enough

To smell the sweetness of your scent

Or so far away

I must imagine your ethereal eyes

I let you tame me

Shape me

Break me and shame me

And still it escapes me

I dream of you while awake

I wake for you when I dream

But when the chance falls upon me

I freeze

Is this hell?

To suffer this longing

Or will hell come when I reach?

A clash of my desire with reality

That shatters the pieces of me who waited

Under the gravity of truth

Still, I must know

I must feel you upon my lips

And discover if that brings with it

Heaven or hell.
