The Cycle
Ignited before your sight, I anticipate
Each moment unplanned, awaited
Memories bound, precedents assure
Conversation considered, spontaneity preferred.
Each breath lost, relieving expectation.
Your efforts are not in vain
Each appreciated by the previous
Happiness distorted by uncertainty
Rife fears, prominent through despondency.
Lay in my arms, let my heart guard yours.
My body reaches to engulf you
Avoidance dismisses to affection's ire
Choices made by one, for two
Frustrations brew until faces overflow.
Pride prevents comfort, love rallies.
Indecision consumes, our motions unconscious
Emotions that were, failing to respawn
Silence understanding, words wary
Forgiveness granted, admission's equivalent.
Rest your head on my chest, again.
Grasps lock, securing home
Blurry eyes, clear for tomorrow
The temporary excused, impulse subdued
A willed stay, reinspiring hope.
Outlast we will, the cycle that has become.
