Tainted Love
It must be nice to speak of love so fluently
without getting stuck in memories
Love is heavy for me
It doesn't gracefully dance through fields of flowers barefooted with the
heat of the day warming my soul with burning desires.
I missed out on that phenomenon
My love is tainted
Singed at the ends
I loved with one eye open.
and with all the lights on.
But then Love caught up to me
my gate was open
and he entered with no invitation
He spoke of love in parables with wide eyed expectations
and I cried between the lines
He spoke of love with no faults
telling me it has no enemies.
I felt his approach
Even through my thickness
My heart jumped and I lost my train of thought
I fell off balance
he reached out
caught me
held me
and still hasn’t let go.
