Frienemy:Alone

There must have been An element of safety That beckoned me to forbidden shores A common theme throughout My cowardly members To dwell among haunted moors In my white, man made dress Wanton eyes pulling to caress Gently rattle, test The marriage with empty nest If I could put back The last pull I took Maybe I could show The purity in my look ~of love~ I don't know who I loved Him, his gaze, or you My Frienemy, who delved into desire I loved my precious box - safe Closed to derision And the fullness of passion, his attention inspired He caused me to travel the high wire On my Harley Davidson of purple fire One instant of exquisite thrill Was worth the ice I now feel As I cry in nothing But the new walls I've erected That completely shut me down Once your presence is detected ~hate you~ ...my Frienemy
