Unattainable

You left me with scars

River thread traces of spaces

Where my hurting soul opened

Once again

Wanting to find love

But finding instead

Longing that had no destination in you

Flowing out toward an absence

Where it pooled

Running away in rivulets down your street

River Road

Tabourie

When I go there now

In my dreams imaginings

I am no longer that girl who hungered

For a man always on the run

I am no longer hovering here

On the sidelines

Waiting in vain

To be accepted inside the circumference of the circle you drew

To keep out

Pain

I am no longer the one with scars that ache

Due to the hunger for your touch

I am finally

The one

Who feels complete

At home

Deep inside

The cirucmference of her own circle

A circle that could only be drawn

Once you cut me free

From longing for a love

That always was

Unattainable.
