Bacteria

Bacteria

Sometimes I wish
We were like bacteria
Acting by nature
Without reason
Without crime

Imagine it
Our minds erased like chalk
You couldn’t think
Not of future
Not of sex

Visualize
An exchange of DNA
No sensation
Just evolution
No worries

These troubles that
Plagued our lives with pointless thoughts
I forget them
Or I try to
It’s so hard
I think of you
In ways I can’t control
I don’t mean to
I stop myself
I’m human

When I think this
I always punish myself
Not in that way
This thing is not
Sexual

I stare sometimes
I wish people would ignore
And not distract
I do not think
Of these ones

Because my thoughts
Are of you and your beauty
Your vivid mind
So close to mine
So neutral

I don’t want to
Admit that I feel this way
I say that it
Is just nature
And back off

Do you know how great it would have been for us?
I can make it
Work just like I
Always do

Do you know the
Few memories we have held?
It was not bad
I’ll do better
I promise

No use in this
You will not read this poem
At least I think
You won’t, but if...
Embarrassed

Do I make you
Feel bad about all of this?
I am sorry
I recoil
Hide away

I still hold hope
One day you will change for me
My life will be
Complete with you
My life’s love

Sounds kind of like
A bitter story without
A happy end
But it’s my life
Don’t worry

I can take care
Of myself on winter days
Far away from
You and all that
You stand for [PAIN!]
