My My dark shadows Lurk on the bridge between us standing significant in distance I've asked too much Now the questions seem ridiculous Still holding onto that gold strand repressing love's exhistance My altered spirit She shrinks my perception leaking sin into my eyes Always leading me to deception She brings much wisdom but tangles my webs For this she gets total reception My generous nature She gives love and devotion letting my guard down While teaching me true emotion She sometimes hides necessary doubt Only to grant mercy allowing my heart's natural erosion My complex heart She makes and breaks my bind forcing my submission Opening all the doors in my obscure little mind She leaves me hanging once the spell is cast The scent of her perfume is all she leaves behind ~~~~~~~~ By: Kara M.
