Untitled No 29
What do I want so badly?
god of earth or of war?
Why am I falling so madly
for a torch when I once had a star?
When will my heart find its answer?
When will these blind eyes see
that my own indecision is cancer,
slowly eating the life out of me?
What is it I’m so fixed upon now?
Why can’t my blue eyes look away?
Is there something I’m supposed to do now?
I know the two things I should say.
There’s only one step left to take,
Walk forward, or backward, but still
Whichever I do, two hearts break
And broken hearts often can kill.
