Dare I speak what's on my mind
Defences...
Mean nothing in the face of your ecstasy,
Forcing me to face my fantasy,
Willing me to acknowledge your presence,
A presence tinged with menace,
How I wish I could pull away,
Run away like you're my yesterday,
But I can't keep running forever,
I've got to get my act together,
I tried to keep you at bay,
Hoping that you wouldn't stay,
But you slipped through the cracks in my wall,
And stationed yourself in my hall,
Why do you draw me like a moth to flame,
Confounded by the rules of your game,
Not sure I have the skills to play,
So I get down on my knees and pray,
I'm fighting and kicking but you won't go,
Refusing to take my resistance as a no,
But how can I let you inside,
When to do that would be suicide?

ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING (Yes that's a double A)!!! That's some Ed-Sheeran stuff!!! You are so much better than you give yourself credit for .... probably one of the biggest reasons I love you so!
ReplyDeleteMerci Mon Ami. To be compared to Ed-Sheeran gives me greater pleasure than you can ever know. You bolster me when I think all is lost, and that is probably one of the biggest reasons I love you so.
