UNTETHERED

  

He sits

I’m still

Hand on my thigh

We stare eye to eye

His mouth meets mine

And it’s defined

 

He walks

I wait

Food on the fire

We’re fueled by desire

His steps never tire

And it’s aligned

 

He runs

I fall

Heart on my sleeve

We begin to cleave

His hold my reprieve

And it’s redefined

 

He halts

I tense

Feelings on the line

We’re caught in twine

His doubt is a sign

And it’s undermined

 

He turns

I freeze

Foot out the door

We rot at the core

His touch I implore

And it’s maligned

 

He leaves

I break

Cards on the table

We’re left unstable

His heart unable

And it's resigned
