Conflict

by ShellySunshine

Rated: E · Poetry · Relationship · #1890090

The conflict of my heart.

Conflict
I know he is not good enough for me
still I want him
I know he will break my heart
still I love him
I want more than he could ever give me
still I give my soul
knowing he is close to everything that brings me joy
I risk my sanity for those moments we connect
knowing there are so many that we don't
