azzura

Proximity without intimacy

And so the dance commences
You are surprise to all my defenses
As you step closer I step back
As I step closer you step back

We encircle each other yet never touch
Eyes locked on one another
The silence screams too much
So you reach for me and I take your hand
My will buckles beneath me, I struggle to stand

What is my consciousness whispering to me?
" Embrace this moment or simply let it be?"
So I let you go, I push you away
I reject your advances and then beg you to stay
This tug of war inside my head
It's driving me daisy and wishing me dead

Your elaborate choreography,
will you stake your claim?
Am I simply a trophy?
Oops here we go again
lost in this game of pursuit and retreat
I long to surrender and admit my defeat

I am conquered and cold
and it's love I long to behold

So I stand back, I wait, I observe
It's always wise to practice reserve
Is the love that I offer,
something you truly deserve?
Do you have what it takes to love me?
Do you even have the nerve?

Because you practice to please me
You taunt and you tease me
then you say you don't need me
I'm sick of this dance...... of intimacy

Will this clandestine affair
Only lead to despair
Can my heart take it?
If I give it to you,
will you break it?
