Switched On

Not a switch 
To turn off 
Then back on 
At beck and call 

Push one way 
Then the other 
Words meaningless 
Without voice 
Obey when spoken to 
clap 
did it work

A relationship 
More like a slave 
Do I exist 
Maybe invisible 
Need glasses 

Awakening light 
Pressed too many times 
Icing on the cake 
Let me speak 
Will you 

Hello 
I am 
On the wall 
Turned off

This reminds me of what someone once told me.Love is not a switch...I kept that somewhere in my heart within a memory.So much to ponder about here.Intriguing thoughts
