"In the currents of love, we can be both adrift and grounded."


-

The sun is parting with the clouds,

The ballroom was flooded by crowd.

They were mesmerized, 

Watch me collapse to the ground.


All dressed up, 

I see you look so dashing tonight.

The chandelier was shining blue.

As I'm dancing on the dance floor next you.


You remember me just like a bad dream,

But baby we look so good together.

And I remember you like you were brand new,

I thought you'd stay that way forever.


You said I love you too soon.

We were parked on an open sea view.

I think you said too much.


We were naked on the front seat,

You made me someone,

For once I was someone,

That I made someone to my myself.

But I started seeing your red strings,

You made me somebody else.


It happened on a Thursday night,

You wanted me to say it back.


You always beat me to the punchline,

You're faster than I've ever been.

But I don't mind coming out last.


If you come any closer,

I will fall into your arms.

I always knew what I was doing,

Giving you something to believe in.


You whispered secrets in my ear, 

I believed every single word, dear. 

You took my hand, 

And we took a ride, 

Through the city lights, 

Where love resides.


But little did I know, 

You had a plan, 

To take control of my hand. 

You made me dance, 

To the rhythm of your heart, 

And I lost myself, 

In the beat from the very start.

    The power dynamics and manipulation is thought-provoking and relevant.
    It feels familiar.

    The line 'you made me someone' is particularly powerful.
    It highlights the transformative nature of relationships.
    I'm not crying, you are.

    I can almost see the scene of you dancing together in the ballroom.

    "You made me someone,
    For once I was someone,
    That I made someone to my myself."
    I'll be quoting you forever!

    The poem touches on the intensity of a relationship, with lines suggesting both the euphoria of falling in love and the potential pain or confusion that can come with it.
