The music drifts around the room,
Harmonizing with the rasp of our shoes.
Sliding forward, then back, right, and then left,
Circling, dodging, as we mirror each other\u2019s moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guitar strums deep in our minds,
Echoing the desire in both of our hearts,
Both? Only one. We are but one person,
One split so suddenly into two separate parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we dance, and we twirl, around and around,
Never touching, only brushing, yet never surrendering,
Leaping, soaring, flipping through the air,
You refuse to submit, and I can\u2019t stop remembering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The music rises as our motions quicken,
Faster and faster you twist and you whirl,
So close you come, but still so untouchable,
I reach and I grasp, stopping your swirl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clutching your shoulders, I shake and I scream,
\u201cYou\u2019re mine! You\u2019re me! Why did you leave?!\u201d
My emotions, imagination, innocence and words,
\u201cYou needed to accept, you needed a reprieve\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collapsing, I weep, \u201cFrom what? From who?\u201d,
A shake of your head and you\u2019re down on your knees,
\u201cFrom me. From you. You simply couldn\u2019t continue\u201d
\u201cThe fire in your heart needed time to ease\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stand, as a tear falls from my eye,
\u201cFor five years? You lie! You abandoned me!\u201d
Your hand held out, halts my tirade,
\u201cYou\u2019re still so blind, just try to see!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I pause, and I look five years in the past,
A 15 year old me is struggling to breathe,
So she writes, and she writes, and she thinks she\u2019s alright,
But she lies, she\u2019s simply numb while subconsciously she seethes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time goes on, places change, but she remains the same,
Living, but not, simply going through the motions,
A smiling empty soul, so ignorant of herself,
She thinks she feels love, but there\u2019s no real emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming back to myself, I look around blankly,
\u201cYou buried yourself in your lies and your pain\u201d
\u201cYou refused to live, so I took back what I gave\u201d
\u201cYour words could no longer have free reign.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mind is spinning, thoughts colliding,
Whirling and circling, mimicking our dance,
Fighting for supremacy, retreating simultaneously,
My emotions kept in a long held trance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I gaze into your..MY eyes, as I speak my words,
\u201cWhen you took my words, you took my life\u201d
\u201cWho I was, and who I prided myself on being\u201d
\u201cYou took my release and left me nothing by strife!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shaking your head vehemently, you exclaim,
\u201cI took your lies! Your shield! I didn\u2019t take who YOU were!\u201d
Breathing in..and out, you shake your head disappointedly,
And I know\u2026that soon, the past will recur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crashing to my knees, I beg and I plead,
But you\u2019re already gone, only a fleeting whisper remains,
\u201cLast chance, you MUST learn, or I\u2019ll never return.\u201d
\u201cWrite now, think, and break free of your chains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here I\u2019ve stayed, and I write, but nothing ever changes,
The chains on my words continue abrading my mind,
Still I fight, and I push, till pen at last touches paper.
But nonetheless, and no matter what, I still remain blind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so I wait as the song starts to play again\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
