Hard Pressed
You sometimes remember but then forget,
that high fever causes your cheeks to flush;
The softest parts inside remain at risk,
pure happiness is a dangerous bet;
In the midst of that adrenaline rush
now you’re believing that it can exist;
So close to the accord that you deserve
careful that white flag is not an ambush;
Held prisoner subjected to a frisk;
To find someone not thrown off by a curve?
Hard pressed.
