pineapple

List your top 5 favorite fruits.

pining for you since we first met

ignited a flame in me I can’t forget

noticing the pull, your sudden appearance

Affectatious attraction and passion unparalleled

distant when entered your orbit

anticipating the moment when i see you again

pleading with a healing heart

pulling on that string

leading me slowly into your

embrace.

safe

feeling a sense of anxiety and discomfort

In new spaces in new places

Makes my chest burn

With embarrassment and shame

At the thought of feeling so lame.

Further angered at the red hot tears

That resembles the fear searing through me.

So I pull back,

Sit down

Let it all wash over me.

Stand up

So I push forward.
