Our Love's Twist
When you looked from afar, I was easily noticed,
I drew closer to you, and I'm become obscene to you.
When we were apart, you yearned for me as air,
Now I'm with you, you turn your back against me.
While away, you dreamt of the day I'll be in your care,
In your care now, and I am suddenly a liability.
The open gestures you made in public that set me aflame,
In the confines of our room now nowhere to be found.
Was it for fun? Was it for ego game?
Is it to break me? Or are you just that way?
