Compassionate Struggle Date: Monday, 1st March 2004 @ 09:55:19 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: desireemiote One stands 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 This poem is Copyright © desireemiote Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
