Repulsive Magnets

I don't get a face of my own, I share this image with him

I'm permitted a few brush strokes of his artistic space

As with all things I am a small aspect in a bigger picture to him

I'm inspiration hushed

He says we find compromises, not possible when I must take what I can get

I'm curled in a ball in my favorite chair, you can only stare

He won't reach for me, I am an oddity

I'm confusion ignored

How I kick off my shoes, how I bite my lip and twist my hair

He analyzes my every thought, I can't just be

I do as I'm told and it's called sharing

I'm freespirits bound

I'm not yours and your not mine

We're here now and though I love you

I know I hate you

for as much as we have always known each other

it seems we will never truly accept each other

hopelessly magnetic

I'm hope confined
