A Cupid-Designed Hell
With
And without you
Your voice
Your words present
In absence of you
Shared pasts and futures
Hearts and spirits
Friends but more
Lovers pretending less
Denial and acknowledgement
Platonic romance
Emotion and sanity
Longing for one or the other
And both
Searching for alternatives
With our eyes shut
One minute there
In your arms
And then gone
Now together, then apart
Illusions and stage magic
Magicians performing
For each other
Confined
To a nasty sort of limbo
Both hell and heaven
While neither
Involuntarily in
Love
Fraught with
Painful paradoxes
And delicious oxymorons
We are lost
But not searching
We know
We will only find each other
