Ambivalence
By Vanessa Q. Carter
Aptos High
My heart fills with a bloody devotion
Affirmation of only you suffocate me like a serpent
I require reality like I do air
Drowning in a pool of my own stupidity
The very presence of your being
Sends my sanity out a sharp-edged window
And hurls me into an entranced state
Like a goldfish heaved out of water
Desire is the color of my soul
Torture and Harmony conspire
Sending me two miles closed to insanity
Yet the clouds do part before my destination
Light explodes and a new hope is born
For you see
Just one smile could change everything
