Unsatisfied Urges Date: Monday, 9th December 2013 @ 08:00:19 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: The_Unknown Sometimes I have these urges That cannot be satisfied Because they're bad But I have self control I tell myself that I have self control Because no one would be happy I stop myself because I've trained myself To taste but not to eat But my tastebuds have withered I'm training myself not to taste, now But still my urges grow Thought patterns I thought repressed, forever gone Are rising back up in my throat Repetition in my thoughts feel like a ticking clock What if... Just this once? Let go... It was an accident Too deep Well why not take off, disappear? Okay, one last time Take too many? Not enough? Imagine... Turn the wheel now, fly away, pretend you forgot how to swim Just open the door... Stand too close to the edge No Just flirt and all will be fine All will be fine She told me I would be okay She told me she would be there My internal compass is out of whack Something is wrong up in my head, I'm sure And where did she go? Perhaps I forgot how to talk Maybe I forgot how to see Part of her held my sanity, I think But who was she to hold my sanity?
