Resistance

Resistance My dearest Your promises are all lies Your whispers of love- Lie wasted My tears flow- like The river runs deep- Still- you do not comprehend. I am only human- I cannot live for you- Only for myself- I see not- what you Would have me see- Only- what is in my heart- I hold out my arms- Embracing nothing My body is met by cool soft wind- It caresses it lovingly- You ask me to Come to you- to enfold- To engulf- to allow you- To penetrate my being- To cling to you as Though Life itself has turned It’s back on me. I cannot- for- if I do- I am nothing So, I turn my back on you with love-
