Never Have I Known Poem by kimberly craig

never have i known the secure comfort
in commitment
wandering all my life, as driftwood
rolling with the tide
forever coming and going, never being anchored
will i ever be content as half of a whole
or am i truly a whole unto myself
i am driven to distraction by feelings
returned, but unwillingly supressed
a moment here
a tender caress there
always stolen, always brief
empty promises fulfilled instantly
while promises of lasting love
are carelessly tossed aside
carnal desire clashes in the passion of a kiss
as logic fades into a distant memory
of a forgotten time
in truth, your love is so much more real
his dims in comparision
he is in my thoughts only when the fire inside
overrules the reality of us
he instinctively knows that deep need in me
you refuse to acknowledge
my heart and soul cry to know you in the way
he knows me
but your heart is deaf to my plea
his unseeing eyes and your unknowing heart
have once again thrown my life into the turmoil
that haunts me everywhere i go
will it ever end?
