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
