The Static Between Us
A Poem
I have very often wondered why
your hair stands on end when you cry
Could it be my woolly jumper perhaps?
Shedding static up into the sky.
There's an energy crackling between us
A fizz I just cannot endear -
Edging closer I reach for forgiveness
But the water vibrates in your tears.
Are my negative atoms too shocking
My electrical pulses too strong
Is that why you flinch when I touch you?
Are the ions of passion now gone?
I hate all this static between us
Zapping love from our passionate souls
Perhaps we should split up our atoms
Get the buzz back we had for so long.
