Always craving contradictions
It’s natural that I need you
Rejected
Again and again and again
Yet never rejected
Loved deeply
Incessantly
Deeply and incessantly
Without love
Always desperately close
Yet never together
Never understanding
Never wondering
Always so desperately close
And apart.
Defiantly I cheat on you
Without cheating
And I know you must but can’t
Pain is pleasure and pleasure is pain
Again and again and again
While dulling us into its boredom
It’s natural that I need you
And contradict it.
James K. Richardson
