At the other's throat
The one
Kneeling
Hands reaching
Grasping for compassion
The one thing
The other can give not
It angers both
In longing for warmth
And openly requesting
A cold
Strong pair of hands
Is placed to harm
For the fear
Of not pleasing
As well as
Losing control
And being hurt
Both in fear
And anger
Are alike [comments] => 1 [counter] => 191 [topic] => 43 [informant] => desireemiote [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Compassionate Struggle

Both in fear
And anger
