[untitled]

I can't turn my back on this if I tried, my heart

is set on you

 

but I can walk away from this way

of doing things

because it confuses me (1)

you won't speak to me  (2)

it is a breeding ground for mistrust and miscommunication  (3)

 

however

 

all is not lost

I see it as poetic foreplay

to something that's evolving I suppose

outside of our own hands

 

maybe that's the best way anyhow

two strong minds are too much

 

maybe if we stop trying something good will happen

 

 

 

I don't regret my retributions and defenses

however immature

you need to see up-front

I will stop at nothing to make a point

 

 

I understand you more and more

not angry anymore

just taken aback by everything

all of it

it blows me away and yes I've been scared

 

we need one another to go through with this but

we are arch enemies

rivals

set against one another like

 

 

like

 

 

...dueling rabid octopuses on the floor of the ocean

 

in the Bermuda Triangle
