The Dimensions of You (Free verse) by jlynnwall
The Dimensions of You I cannot comprehend all the dimensions of you Your draw over me pushes and pulls in all you do A bittersweet romance that swallows me entirely Soon fading from me as you chase down your dreams avidly In you, my dimension is but a small sliver in your pie In which tiny morsels are oft casually brushed aside Seldom tastes are allowed at only your timely discretion But my soul succumbs to slow perish with your vague intentions Our daunting pasts never seem to loosen their draining grip Do we become history's fool and take another sip? Our desired dreams harbor visions of so much more Yet our feelings regress in fear of what is in store Your bold words speak volumes to the rest of the world Women and men alike being lucidly lured But my deaf ears still cannot hear all of you or of us within them And relentlessly, 'what if' becomes the only pertinent question Behind the scenes flirtations effect in them a slow quiver Yet crushing pains of jealousy instill in me a shiver This stranger's dimension in you is a foreign land to me Sharp words become fallible and truth becomes all that I see Dimensions can be a rare commodity in the business of relationships And you purchased my heart the night you sent your kiss to my lips But will you find my defect and make the dreaded return Leaving me broken and drowning in thoughts of all that I yearn I cannot comprehend all the dimensions... of you... It is for this I regret, you may long be lost... to me.
