You are the moment <br />before <br /> <br />the ship & the iceberg <br />...meet. <br /> <br />The difference between <br />having it all & <br /> <br />having nothing at all. <br /> <br />Your love <br />the only thing <br /> <br />I ever wanted <br />to own <br /> <br />yet could never <br />possess <br /> <br />my thirst <br />of Tantalus <br /> <br />my Sisyphus’s stone <br /> <br />my paradox <br />of pleasure <br /> <br />my dichotomy <br />of pain <br /> <br />& what’s worse <br /> <br /> <br />I loved you <br />despite it.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-were-the-moment/
