Last dance
She swayed with the trees,
And danced in sync
with her beloved breeze.
You were enchanted,
by her nonchalance,
And captivated by her ability
to sway with such ease.
You fell to your knees,
as her starry eyes,
Told you magical lies.
Chastised by her lips,
But hypnotised my her hips,
You hypothesised you and her
together.
You became fixated
and unable to resist.
You magnetised,
And attached your minus
to her plus sign,
But she opposed the attraction
that you felt inside
And gracefully
tried to draw a line.
You had been denied,
as if typing the wrong pin
one too many times,
all your attempts
had been declined.
You still failed to withdraw,
because you felt her resistance
meant she wanted you more.
She continued to dance
with the breeze
giving you nothing
but airtime,
You didn’t clock
her dismissals
but rather watched on
mesmerised.
You thought you loved her,
when in fact,
you were only infatuated
by the magic
between her thighs.
Out of your lips spewed lies
About how you would wait
and give her time.
Obsession
became romanticised
a ‘hopeless romantic’,
was the mask you hid behind.
You refused to mask off,
so your life became a pantomime.
But forever wise,
she saw through
your perilous disguise.
She conscientiously objected
to the force of your love
You opposed her decision
and supposed that in due time
she would become your beloved.
Delusions of grandeur
made you defy
the laws of attraction
so you grabbed her close,
forcing her
to unwillingly gravitate
and entertain you in
unwanted interactions.
Thoughts of she
flooded your dreams,
leaving you soaking wet
and her unable to breathe.
Your requiem for a dream
had become reality,
Addiction caused you to crack so
you knelt facing your prey,
now ready to attack.
For so long
she had been the target
of your affection.
You had aimed at her
all your attention.
But now cloaked in red
she had caught the bulls eye,
An arrow through her heart,
she knew she was about to die.
Tears began to drop
from the sky
and you sat and wondered why?
Why did she now lay
with the trees
And why did her still body
no longer dance with her once
beloved breeze.
