Magnetic One
                                       i stand here on the edge of the universe
                                       hoping gravity will fail,
                                       knowing you won't catch me
                                       should i go flailing toward
                                       that magnificent sun,
                                       so strongly compelling a soul
                                       to be absorbed by brilliance,
                                       knowing i don't have a chance
                                       to prove my worth,
                                       when you need something on good faith,
                                       when really it should be the reverse
                                       in your slickly devised world
                                       where i climb cliffs,
                                       dare and shout, as if canyons
                                       could hear echoes of years
                                       of self-doubt, when i edged
                                       further out until i could
                                       see a dream burning for me,
                                       eternally like damnation;
                                       flesh for the fire
                                       of your desire,
                                       should i
                                       fall off.

                                       it's torture for a magnetic one
                                       who looks longingly,
                                       blindly...
