A Very Fine Line

I loved you - I hate you! And now I can’t wait to See you fall from grace - like the stupid fool that you are - (Right on cue) That perfect mouth I once kissed Now just looks slack And I’m pissed That others even listen To the phoney nonsense you spew! Those big muscled arms That once saved me from harm Seem to drag with your knuckles On the floor, And those dumb little jokes That you share with all folks Are banal embarrassments And, believe me, A BORE! You walk towards me, I seethe! What a nerve! I can’t breathe! “Get Lost!” I manage to hiss In front of me you stand, - then grab hold of my hand! I’ll hit you! (I swear I won’t miss!) You pull me tight to your chest My heart pounds in my breast What are you doing? Good God up above!! Your lips then meet mine More potent than wine, My heart melts – I have fallen in love!
