Desiring Impossible

To own you, 
was my fault. I wanted you flawlessly, 
to choose, who lives 
and who walks away. 

Trying to discover 
pure truth, the whole truth― 
nothing but complete. 

You start groping 
for eternal globes, like Mars, 
burning hot, but far away. 

An aesthetic oneself, searching a duplicate. 

The suffering of useless 
phrases hurts. Your eyes squint, 
wanting to tell, but don't betray. 

Who will succeed 
awakening the sovereignty of a wayward bard? 
Who will pull down the moon 
from the black sky?
