My heart is in a vice whenever I shyly walk with you.
My tongue it turns to ice whenever I try and talk with you.
I cannot verse, but for the curse I seem to have a voice,
But wounds to nurse are getting worse, hardly can I rejoice.
Bruises of confusion, broken bones of jealousy.
Humiliating contusions, from when I tried to make you see.
I have been struck, and just my luck, with the hellish curse of love.
A sitting duck with feathers plucked, hit by cupid from above.
My insides shrink and melt away, when you softly touch my skin,
But my skies morosely fade to grey, as you gently lift my chin…
“We are but friends; we can’t pretend that we’ll ever be anything more.”
And your wounded friend, with soul to mend, walks sadly out the door.
He walks down shadowed road and turns, back onto Main Street,
And crimson heart it slowly burns, blackened, darkened meat.
The lesion stings, the curse it sings, as duck prepares to roast,
Severed wings, the pain it brings, is what I hate the most.
And although you seem to quite enjoy, tearing me apart,
Truly you are my inner joy, a priceless work of art.
I’d swim the Nile, to try and beguile – I am drowned once more but then…
But then you smile – make it all worthwhile. My skies are clear again.
