No Strings Attached

An overwhelming sorrow,
no escape, not even in sleep,
only undying pain,
only overwhelming endurance.
 
Hot tears fall easily,
but I must exist;
it is your dictate,
it is your wish,
I cannot but obey
and bear the sacrifice.
 
No insanity for me, 
no easy escape
I scream at night
in love and pain
for you know well
the art of sex.
I love and grieve,
yet it is clear,
your vision of me:
no strings attached.

Hello Victor. Good Afternoon. This entry has many facets. I see love and beauty and all that it entails for two special people and I see another side of no emotion no attachments no commitment. This is fine poetry Victor. Love and Blessings now and always. May this day be a good day in every way. (smile)
