Scarves Rings and Lipstick

Cursed Embrace II

This is embarrassing
The poet is at a loss for words
Note to self; verbal diarrhoea is cured by a tablespoon of pride
And a line of excitement to distort the contentment found in hiding behind smoke and mirrors

I dipped my toe
The waters were warmer than I remembered
Must have been the hellish sun
I put my face in and my whole body slipped
It could happen to anyone
I struggle to breathe as I plumge myself deeper
Now I sound crazy

Was I lazy to explore the limits of my patience before?
I ran to the door
You watched me run back and dive in
I was afraid you would spit me out like the undeserving brat I've become
But I was comforted listening to my heart race
Hearing the pace catch a rhythm
The longer I stare the better I understand why I called it
A cursed embrace

Bewitched in your arms
I am completely enveloped in your essence
I provoke your shallow
And drown happily in your deep
I surrender entirely
Choosing only to feel my arms and legs grow heavy
Unsteady with each stroke

Where I once felt anxious I feel secure
You're the one thats crystal clear yet you see right through me
Blue but you bring out my happy
I was once unsure
But being here feels right
Behind crumbling walls I send an invite
I no longer care to fight nor do I have a choice

In the discord I hear a concerto
"Redefinition of Summer"
It makes me feverish
I would have it no other way
I breathe to burn in your cursed embrace
