mutually repulsive
Folder:
primitive as we stand there
among the others
i feel your presence
and you feel mine
i know you're there
my eyes struggle to keep focused
i can feel your eyes burning a hole in my neck
and as i move
i can see the front of your body
but my mind blocks out your face
turning my back
i walk away
from all your past frustration
then as we leave the room
our eyes meet again
for a fleeting second
agonizing
yes, i am repulsed by you
as i am sure you are repulsed by me
it's like a pair of broken magnets
denying themselves
the attraction they know they
feel and need together
