Mediocre. Poem by Veronika Scarlet

How I wish to be what troubles your sleep
What makes your hands shiver in the cold
What brings the oceans to your eyes
And the heavens to your soul.

How I wish I knew what went wrong
So it wouldn’t happen again
Though it’s not like it could anymore
Maybe I don’t want it to, after all.

How I crave for one kiss like the one we once shared
Intoxicating taste of evasion
Gave me false hopes that you cared
Mediocre thoughts with completion.

How I crave for enlightenment to come to you
It always seems to focus on me.
Although it’s far overdue
I still offer you of my plenty.

How I want to be the recipient of your words.
Read your lines to me out loud
Tell me to inundate your world
With the love that was lost after found.

How I wish not to wish for your thoughts.
How I crave not to crave for your touch.
