Desire Of My Heart

by Superchick

Truth in black and white
my dream painfully finite
slipping through my hands
slammed by the worlds demands

He doesn't see me, did he ever?
the sad answer, methinks, "no, never"
waist line fantasies, pin up magazines
only a collection of my naive dreams

Running after him only to find
to care for me, he is disinclined
do I place blame, no not I
I say I'm okay, but it's only a lie

So I ran in circles, plagued by doubt
until the day I turned myself inside out
the pain never ceasing, the days they bled,
into one another, the monsters in my head

Now there is nothing left but myself
I cannot compete with fame or wealth
only acting like I am truly free
but the truth is, he still has all of me

Penning thoughts to this rhyme
a dreamer lost in the throes of time
waiting here, faithful but alone
blinking back tears by the telephone

Waiting nightly for his voice
suffering this plight by choice
choosing to keep on believing
hope running wild and teeming

It's never mattered what I have to endure
because I have never in my life been more sure
of who I love, and what I dream could start
thus, I am still here, waiting, for the desire of my heart

An old axion - that still holds true:
"Be careful what you wish for..."

Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Great Poem - well written - heartfelt.
Dont lose sleep over someone that does not - cannot - appreciate you.

ALL the Best

    I'd lose more sleep if I let go of my hearts deepest desires. I think it's better to suffer while having a heart full of hope than to be empty and have a life of no struggle. I know that verse well, though I do not think it means the desires of the heart. It refers to the desires of the flesh, and the desires of the flesh can be stemmed from a misguided heart or mind. Desires are hardwired in us, and I don't believe that my desires are decietful or wicked. I believe that even the wildest hopes and dreams are possible. I know better than to look at my circumstance and say it's impossible.

    "With God, all things are possible" "God wants to give you the desires of your heart"

    Please don't think I am attacking you in any way my friend. I assure you I am not. I appreciate your comment and your concern, but I know giving up hope would be heart suicide for me. I walk a blind path to be sure, but to walk away would only cause regret on my part, I know it.
