Tainted Love

It must be nice to speak of love so fluently without getting stuck in memories Love is heavy for me It doesn't gracefully dance through fields of flowers barefooted with the heat of the day warming my soul with burning desires. I missed out on that phenomenon My love is tainted Singed at the ends I loved with one eye open. and with all the lights on. But then Love caught up to me my gate was open and he entered with no invitation He spoke of love in parables with wide eyed expectations and I cried between the lines He spoke of love with no faults telling me it has no enemies. I felt his approach Even through my thickness My heart jumped and I lost my train of thought I fell off balance he reached out caught me held me and still hasn’t let go.
