Tormented

Summer 2003
Lawrence Tan

Like a wildfire across the forest
Like a hurricane across the land
I was swept under…

Like a tornado across the plain
Like a torrential monsoon rain
I was taken over…

Helplessly stricken
Long hair
Dark eyes
Intercepting all my thoughts
I am losing control…

What do I have to say?
When is the right time?
Where do we go from here?
Why, we are running out of time?

The fleeting glances
The teasing words
The warm embraces
Oh! They are all fake!

Like a ravaging fever
Like a sustaining chest pain
My soul is tormented

Like a cold winter night
Like in a darkest sky
My heart freezes over…

Grey sky
Blue heart
My pain
Your pleasure…
