I try to leave
to just be me
but everywhere I turn
you’re still there
and my intuition
forces my acceptance
of your unrelenting stare
with such an envious care
your strangle hold humbles

I try to resist
but the barrier around me crumbles
as your passion intercedes
with my need
my undefended personality

I try to believe
as our worlds
our bodies
our spirits
collide
our love
overpowering
decants freely

I try to see
my secret lover
in the darkness
as I plead
please let me breathe
silently

I try to grow
as you twist and torture my feelings
my thoughts
into your own
you feed my emptiness
with pleasurable bounty
from everyone’s know

I try to admit
there’s so much more that I want
and can do
to benefit
from your blatant intrusion
into mine
you, my ensuing mind

I try to love
together
push come to shove
you and I
two species
of a different kind
creating realities
off the tongue
just as whole worlds
have always been spun

I try to be
everything you don't want me to be
if it's love you want, it's war I'll be
I'm not blind; I can see
I try to appreciate this once in a love-time chance
I try to be; awkward
Not clown awkward; Unpredictable
To keep you coming back to shine light on me
I try to be the red star in your night sky
