Wooed

Don’t dive! I pull, you push me back
and now only bubbles at the surface.
You panicked, why did I have to confess
the insane depths of my emotion?

I knew and even though you're not in love,
though I wasn’t anyone else’s
why did I have to try and claim you?
Now everywhere I go there is something
to remind me of you, I can't
divert my mind, It shames me.

I’ve knocked on all other doors, I’ve tried
having the slashes on my heart bandaged.
Cos I’m torn between you
and the image in my head; the fiction I’ve always fancied.

Someone to swoop down from the skies,
and with all their lullabies,
break my insomniatic wake.

But then you came and you stayed.
swaying with me through my darkest days,
pulling me from my stagnancy

And even though you're not in love yet
or even someone else’s
I still cant quite believe it
that you were the rope I had been chasing all my life.
