i feel you
bound to you like no other
i carry you around
attempt to shed you

as you are problematic

yet i remain emphatic

i feel you
feel your dormant heart
sense your fear
rage and desire

i’m not here
to be cute
make warm and fuzzies
dote on a man
or make cherry pies

i can’t be kept
or wed or bought with a prize

i’m here to wake you up inside

I should never have said a word
but I did.

I will tell you I love you
by saying nothing

You told me
to look into your eyes
I saw nothing
but two flickering lights
slowly beginning to burn out
