"dance with me"
how can i decline?
their eyes are on me
scanning and searching for the moment i'm no longer in control of myself
he's clawing at me,
caging me in
while the other parades as my "lover"
i only want you
you left your friends for me,
just so we could sit and talk
you didn't expect anything
this minimalism should not be reassuring
are we different?
the lurkers are saying no
yet i feel like the moon who's met mercury
i ate the apple from your tree,
and you didn't treat it as an invitation
when will you expect more?
i'm so scared of you
because the hands you lay on me were requested, not forced
gravity is holding me back from vulnerability
