Will you?

 

Will you?

 

Plunge yourself deep inside

Into the dark interior of me

The mystery that lies within

You felt it there

Then withdrew

Moistening my stomach with you

 

We part across an open field

The tree finally divides us

I touch the leaves

As they shield me from view

Now two days on, no words

Have passed between us.

 

Have I been used?

Abused?

Again?

Or am I the user?

Either way I lose.

 

Wish it could be different this time

That my push away did not work

So very effectively

And instead you say

‘I want to be with you’

‘This is right and true’

‘Take my hand and I will show you,

What real love can be’

 

But I don’t think love wants me

To feel its searing heat

Just yet

Likes me out here in the cold

Behind the leaves

Shielded from view

And maybe

Just maybe

It isn’t right with you
