PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we suffer

when its only the pleasure

of each other that

we seek

so many times

you seem to lose me

just when I think

you have found me

I miss you when you are gone

I don't think you realize this

and yet its hell so often when you are around

like you are a bull and I'm some awful red rag

being waved before your glittering eyes

I say the wrong thing

and I am sanctioned by your offended wrath

you are a man of strong opposing sides

and I am a woman who sometimes needs to

get away from you

just to cry

whenever I seem to be getting too close

you throw down the friendship card

it is

in a way

a safety wall

from which

you can duck behind

and hide

you say

I'll always be your friend

and yet

you do things that are so un-friend-like

and more so

so very lover like

and its those moments

that throw my heart for a loop

to the point where I can't control its beating

whenever your presence  is so strongly felt................
