Foundation
When I close my eyes, I see a changed image
My mind wanders to an unchartered place
My body comes to life beneath another
Speaks affection to a different man’s hands
Could my slavery to unrequited love be over?
Has the time arrived for me to move on?
Because of him?
Because of me?
Because of a mystical interaction that cannot be planned
Only understood
I have experienced too much pain not to be hopeful
My positive energy keeps my spirit alive
Even if it sometimes plays me for a fool
And if, in the end, this foundation returns to a dreamscape
And I once again experience the whiplash of emotion toward my unintentional intended
I am at least grateful for these days of reprieve
