Humor Me Poem by Selina Tan

Why is it
that we are attracted
to things we know
we cannot have.

Like the cool winter breeze we cannot grasp
or that spark of passion we failed to cast
or to hold your hand so tightly clasped
or those moments you wish would dearly last

Like the whisper of your befallen trails
That speaks to me deep in my heart
Those wishes we wish would prevail
and those feelings we wish would depart

It seems as though
there is nothing
we want more than
what we cannot have.
