We waltz around each other.
Hand in hand; chest to chest.
So close, each breath synchronized.
Yet
True intimacy avoids us, even
In close proximity, limited range
Dance floors, it skirts around us.
Where did it go?
Hide, run to? See
We
Used to be conductors holding
The orchestra together, keeping
Time with every drop of the kick
Drum.
Now all thats left is kicks
Straight into our ego. And who
Am I to want to let this go? To
Just release that which causes
Any type of discomfort?
I want to Be
drunk in lust, not bound by
Endless commitment. Yet I said
My vows, and so did you and truth
Be told, I don’t even think you like
Me anymore; just keeping rhythm till
The song
Is
Over.
Jagged Mountain
