“Purity”
She is what I need to inject into my veins,
To feel her creeping, moving closer into my heart,
Infusing my blood with her sense of purity,
Cleansing away the life of sin,
Leaving sparkling water flowing,
Dripping into the chambers of my heart,
Slowly drowning away the life I lived,
Revealing something far better,
Something frightening,
A utopia I cannot embrace,
For it is beyond what I have known,
And I am too narrow, too simple,
Too afraid to try anything other than what I already know
She can flow through my veins,
She can infuse my brain with the impulses,
Directing me to follow her into that unknown,
But I will never follow,
For as much as she may be inside of me,
And as much as it may cleanse,
The little fears that lurk deep in the recesses,
In the crevices of my brain will find a way to survive,
And they will continue to propagate,
Leaving me torn between two worlds,
The world I know,
The one that has shown me no love,
And the world that could be,
The one that she pulls me into,
But I resist,
I tear myself away from her grasp,
Feeling comfort in the familiar contempt,
Content to waste away the days like this,
Knowing that something better exists,
That I could easily have that happiness,
It would only involve taking her hand,
But I have no ambition to explore it.
