why do I find myself
right here,
in a no-win left field
over and over again,
when I know better than this!

I see skid marks on my hands
and its all I can do
from imploding,
if this is a knee jerk reaction
then why am I fuming?
at those thoughts that race
and screech your name?

I am far too obsessive for any man's good
I want what I can't have,
that's normal ...
it must be the challenge
yet, I hate this dichotomy
too easy, I'm bored
too hard and I'm gone ...

I think I'll remain
right inside my mind,
and close down all doors
to write,
of memories and dreams
and such fabulous things
and live through my pen's willfull stride ...
