Seek Out Him

I juggle back and forward like a bet 
on which side the quarter will fall on 
He comes and goes out my
thoughts like a boat in and out of a port
I sway so much because I am so tempted
never met someone like him so I use 
poetry for my internal venting 
I have coins aplenty and I want to
cash on in this desire that is fuming 
like a teacup. I am not a male but he has
me up. He claims he'd tear me 
apart if it was him I could trust. 
If only I could trust but I know
it won't only be us. 
He has women aplenty
and I am only one of many.
My heart screams leave us be
she doesn't need this type of falling
because with this type of soaring
It will lead to crawling. 
I can't trust myself not to want more
from him in the long run.  
So what I continue to do is run even
thought indulgence would be quite fun.

Oh, decisions, decisions. You don't want to set yourself up to be hurt, yet your feelings are so strong. Well, at least you are one step ahead knowing the possible outcome. I guess if you don't try you will never know, but when all is said and done, what will be, will be. Good luck! Love, Shar
