was it a mistake letting desire run free

was it physical or did you want to make love to me

should I have kept my distance

should I have stayed cold

my heart aches

will you love me

can you love me

I shouted

sang

danced

painted

screamed

cried

my love for you

your silence rang forever

your doubt dampened my flame

and now you want me to dance again

I’m tired

so tired, I say

you pray

swearing this time you’ll

see

hear

feel

taste

believe

my love.

my heart.

my devotion.

but I’m so tired
