Standing

I hate you
for making me love you-
then stringing me along
until I realized
all was lost,
and that you have
left me standing
on your doorstep-again-
Druid God.
 
Being your Muse-
Your Sappho-
your Savior
is killing me slowly-
and painfully-inside.
 
Count me a fool-
A mere mortal-
with a tragic flaw
called loving you.
A stupid girl-
who has dreams and morals
that you rose high above you-
asking for nothing-
but perfection.
 
I reached to the heavens for your perfection
but I only found lies and words-
and a concrete landing
that left me bruised and broken.
 
Because I can save you-
Druid God-
but you'll never save me.
 
You'll never change for me-
you can't even change for yourself.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
