drawn the line ever so fine somewhere between love and hate optimism wary in the forefront of caution flirting its blurred edges the verdict by a thread loosely hangs in oscillation dormant danger staggering lingers behind flimsy curtains loving you exposes me leaving me vulnerable precarious on the balancing beam over a trench of shifting sands dodging odds gambled in a pinch fearing clouded ulterior motives i want to trust in you implicitly risking being taken for the fool though feelings can turn on a dime should you unhinge my world on the edge of love and hate AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on July 4, 2021 for A BRIAN STRAND JULY 4 contest sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST Originally posted on June 28, 2021
