"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.
ReplyDeleteIt feels familiar.
The line 'you made me someone' is particularly powerful.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.

ReplyDelete"You made me 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.
