Come & Go

It comes

And

Goes

Like a broken heart

With no home

To go to.


It comes

And goes

Like the breeze

In the summer.

Like the waves

Coming to kiss the feet of the young girl

Who giggles and flees.


Coming back to kiss the wounds

From the last time it left.

Coming back when it’s needy

And leaving me when it’s full.


Leaving

Whenever he’s satisfied.

The lust that runs through his blood

Always so temporary

But never enough to fulfil me.

It’s like an addict on heroin

Or a thrill seeker on adrenaline.


That’s what temporary love is.
