for so long I
twisted myself up
into pretzel knots
over what I couldn't have
with you
and what I wanted
so desperately

ceaseless longing unabated
by time or circumstance
desire and anger raged entwined
within the deepest recesses
of my being

it took another all encompassing
love
as deep and as true but
entirely different
to ease the acid ache

those feelings are gone
