We Fence
We fence
Forward and back, coyly with words
Laughing and flirting
We fence
Evenly matched, strong wit, strong hearts
No masks, epees glinting, no protection
And just when I think I am gaining ground,
You wound me
quickly, and with no mercy
Wounded with silence
Wounded with withdrawal
As swiftly as if you pierced my heart
