To Kiss Her

But you're still pondering the thought
Musing over the idea
of what it would be like
to be with her.
To hold her close
as she requires.
To kiss her.
To love her.
The thought scares you.
The thought scares
the both of you.
She's keeping her distance now
for she sees
what the future might entail.

Sometimes

Sometimes
it's best not to think about it.
Just tuck it away
and cover it up with some memory;
a happy memory
to distract the wicked.
It's clearer now.
I can almost taste it.
The scent of fear lingering
at the tip of our tongues.
But wait...who's really to blame?
Me?
You?
The situation?
Come on, relax
live a little;
The world is full of people
who are worse than you and I.

I Can Barely Remember

Slowly, the sweet becomes bitter
and the bitter becomes sullen.
I can barely remember
what we used to talk about
when we lived together.
Laughing, poking fun;
just to pass the time.
I was there all along
waiting to destroy your
weaker half.
