To Thaddeus by Susan Gray
You allowed me to fly and see the beauty
But I needed gravity
You caused me to dream, to hope
But I needed reality
With you my feet were unbalanced above the ground
But I needed stability
Time with you was exciting, chaotic
I needed serenity
The world did not approve of you and me
I needed sustainability
My craving for you was crazy madness
I needed sanity
And so my feet remain
On the ground
Feeling
The Gravity
Stable I am
Serene and Sane
All relationships sustained
Monotonous and tiresome
Life goes on undaunted
Because, you see,
What I needed
Wasn’t what I wanted |
