Olympic Hurdle

The arch she holds is quite Roman 
The barrel of my pistol is elongated 
Click---Click---Bang; the race has begun 
Swerving, maneuvering, and dodging 
Joined at the hip on the last lap
Cramps begin to set in 
Only one will survive 
With her intuitive mind she turns right,
leaving me left 
Breaking the finish line tape dramatically 
Welcome to the winner's circle
