Screwed by circumstance
Without any salve
Life insists on desiring
What it knows it can’t have
Yet somewhere in the madness
Lessons often teach
That some things in life
Should be beyond…reach
Doesn’t mean two people
Can’t passionately care
A situational complexity
Long decided elsewhere
The pathway forward
Circuitous at best
Figuring it all out
‘Tis the ultimate test
The heart’s in denial
What the eyes can’t conceal
It’s that truth of the matter
Once critically revealed
Life consists of desiring
What it knows it can’t have
Thus screwed by circumstance
Without any salve
