Yearn to Clash

Poem By Kharma Gentner


We can’t let this go any further.

You would treat me good, we both know,

But we have different points of view.

No matter my love for you,

I’m afraid I gotta let you go.


It’s a lie to say I won’t miss you.

I’ll still think what could have been.

But deep inside, we already knew

There’s nothing that we could do.

I’m afraid I gotta let you go.


Can’t help wondering, what if I’m wrong?

After all, you’ve been good to me.

But my logic tells me that I can’t,

Even though my heart thinks we can.

I’m not sure I wanna let you go.


This can only lead to disaster.

I wish I could get over you faster.

Still I yearn,

Yearn to clash with you.


This can only lead to heartbreak.

I wanna avoid making that mistake.

Still I yearn,

Yearn to clash with you.


But, it might not lead to disaster!

You ask me out, I couldn’t say yes faster.

I wish I didn’t yearn,

Yearn to clash with you.
