    “Your desire is one capable of rest.” I think I may have a new favorite line.

      pranjal86able It could be an interpretation that’s entirely my own, but it reminds me of an inconsistent love. The object of the writer’s interest has a love “capable of rest,” which makes me think they have periods of distance or indifference while the writer’s love is steady. It’s a beautiful way of describing what seems like a lover with a tendency to send mixed signals.

    I bet that last line reminds John to get a Diet Dr Pepper.
    Beautiful poem of longing and the bittersweet torment. Thank you for sharing.

    I've had trouble expressing this feeling even in my own poetry and she just hit it so hard. Incredible.
