No...I am sorry my darling
I can no longer swim against you.
Feel your slick silk skin tickle
My own.
To me you are a forbidden entity
That - because of my curiosity -
I have become entangled in.
As I fought harder to understand
You enclosed on me like a fisted hand.
Oh, and dear I have tried to wear a hole in you
And your needless defenses
But you have forced me to be lost inside
So now I push and shove against you
But with each and every breath filled with struggle and regret
You wrap tighter until I can no longer fill my lungs
There was a time I trusted you
Whether it be out of truth or pure nativity
But I had tangled my fingers into yours so delicately - seamlessly
and as I swam underneath you admiring your danger and beauty -
To you - I was just something to be caught.
