You tease me like the sun
On an overcast cloudy day
Touching me so quickly,
Before going again away

I will answer all your questions,
You will get inside my brain
You will make me think your way,
I will love you just the same

I will follow all your footsteps,
Zig zag, so very wide
Let you lead me all around,
Losing dignity and pride

You will waste my time for profit,
I will use my time for you
The checks and balance don’t add up,
You’ll convince me that they do

The sadist and the masochist,
The egoist and martyr
Opposite poles of personality,
Fulfilling needs against the other

Call me up to say hello,
But you haven’t got the time
Tell me to be grateful that,
For me you’ve dropped a dime

You flourish in my pain,
I flourish in it too
Your wants, my needs,
Yours first, mine last
Alternative love, for us is true

  8. You’ve got to know by now I’m a big fan, but I won’t lie to you. All through that piece it felt to me like you were struggling with every word, and I can’t help but wonder if that’s not because you don’t fully agree with the point of view that you’re putting out there. Please don’t be offended, I love your poetry immensely, just check my earlier comments.

    • I had to go back and reread it,D. Funny thing is, I wrote this in a matter of minutes. It was something I felt very strongly about at the time and aded the “preferences” to put emphasis on the pull of relationships. Thank you for your support. I love the interface of feedback 🙂 H.
