Tug of War
Is it love or just another lesson?
Enticing is the first word that comes to mind;
When I think of how you lure me in—
Pulling me closer to your flame,
Promising a warm embrace.
Your words sound so sweet,
As if they were a melody.
Your love gives me chills
Like I was Rue off the pills.
You leave me in a state of euphoria.
I’m mesmerized by the look in your eyes
And losing track of time
Because, with you, time flies.
I fear you’ll be the one
Because my attachment to you has begun.
I feel compelled to you
As if I was under a spell.
I am praying for protection
That your love won’t lead me to hell.
For it’s you that I crave
So much that I am scared you’ll show me to my grave.
Despite my fears,
I still let you draw me in,
Closer than I have ever been,
Feeling like a stranger in my own skin.
Your love makes me feel like I’m in a trance,
With your reassuring words and acts of romance.
Your love is like a fairytale dream
That I never want to end.
God forbid that I wake,
And realize I’m condemned,
To a reality where you don’t exist—
Damned to wander the sea alone in the mist.
In the end, You will either lead me to paradise or drown me in the ocean.
Leaving my love lost forever next to Poseidon,
For, in time, you will reveal if you are my mermaid or my siren!
