Though your body screams we’re right
One hand’s pushing me away
While the other holds me tight

Your actions speak against the
Lies I’m struggling to believe
Your smile begging me to stay
Though your lips tell me to leave

We’re like the poles of two magnets
Likeness pushes us apart
Nature’s cruel law of life
That constantly breaks my heart

Your touch makes me turn around
When my hand is on the door
The laughter in the silence
Keeps me holding on for more

Every time I turn away
Thinking “us” is finally done
Affinity pulls us back
And we once again are one

So true - a vicious circle of pain, the bitter, sweetness of love but we still can't live without it. Loved the way you set out the contradictions of a relationship - you are very talented.

This is a wonderful write, Clarity. I'm glad you changed your mind and decided to like poetry. You write it very well. Very passionate piece.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
