Missing Balance

Now that I’m in this place of vulnerability

Where I’m likened to consumption

By thoughts that overrule everything I stand for

As if through these thoughts, I’m sired to you

Like an object of possession

I don’t want to believe it’s all for nothingness

It just doesn’t sit well

Rather, I would like to think that you are the link Between my purpose and desires

And I wonder if me without purpose effects to meaninglessness

Or the burning desires are the bridge to its effectiveness

While you amid the two serve as the balance

Which brings me back to the thing I mostly assent to: passion and practicality

The former represents the desires my heart wills The latter, a more rational representation at disposal

One cannot function without the other

Torn between which mostly matters

[Regardless of eventual heartache]

I might know which I ought to follow

But when it’s all said and done,

I’m still a slave to my wants

So, my love, let your thoughts overwhelm every sense of my being

For it’s that missing balance this lost entity is craving.

Thanks for your readership, always.
