Painful Romance

Painful Romance

I lay besieged,
What is your intent?
Watchful from afar,
Draped in silhouette,
My lungs collapse,
I lay remnant,
Solemn intrudes,
Upon my regret.

Riveted,
Clasped,
Intrigued by your notion,
Tears fall,
I weep for thee.
Restless soul,
You have my devotion,
I stray to you
And lay waste to me.

I stand,
I give,
I seek torment,
I endure,
I'm lured,
Annul of my senses.
Erratic,
Realistic,
I'm vulnerable,
Pursued,
Subdued,
Unsure,
Delusion commences.

Enshroud,
I search,
Unsettled,
I flee,
I return,
Intrigued,
Eager to see.

My rythm,
Tis' truthful,
Unable to lie,
My mind,
I question,
Reluctant,
I try.

Being Me

Well written!Β  This is intense! You have the reader gripped throughout. There is a yo-yo like effect...will they? wont they? should they?Β 

I stray to you
And lay waste to me.

I love those two lines!
