Marionette Nightmares

When souls like ours meet;

There's no need to speak.

Locked lips.

Guns loaded.

The air is thick,

and the tension is growing.

Sweaty palms

and a nervous step;

time edges closer to our ascent.

 

Will you let me in?

Rampant heart; blood's grown thin.

 

Words pour out of me;

a flood of emotion.

As I grow weak to this notion;

held captive in the depths of your eyes.

 

Fingers rush to the trigger,

but I am gun-shy.

Spellbound and confound by the strings you are pulling.

 

Marionette nightmare.

In my sweetest dreams you set me free,

with the softest caress of your lips.
