Emotions on the line,

When you touch me as you do

Take me to a point,

Before you lead me through …..

———————————-

This dance … Isn’t mine alone,

Not a lover so to speak

But your hand’s around my waist

Just to make me weak …..

———————————-

As it did before you pushed …..

Me back — behind a wall

Never knowing … back and forth

… Won’t let me fall.

———————————-

In a moment … I do recall …..

A face to love;

Gentle lips, pressed against

Oh … the burden as you shove …..

———————————-

Me back — against the mirror

And, you’re lost to darker thoughts

Drifting further – never nearer …..

———————————-

To that point one could see…..

The way you stare –

I’m helpless in such a state

Love, I call unfair …..

———————————-

And you’re off again,

Your thoughts a steam train,

Running circles, making ruins

In the recesses of my veins …..

———————————-

Back and forth, Friend or Foe; 

Tell me all you think; 

A stranger to your rhythm and your flow.

Brings me to the brink …..

———————————-

Of all I want, and all I see

Confusion — Oh how I’m driven

To such depths — When you push me back …..and bring me forth.
