Come into my world

It hurts that you won’t stop teasing me. I call for you repeatedly, but you don’t take the step that separates us. Or is it that you won’t take it? Is this an issue that will remain unresolved forever?

There is a simple solution, isn’t there? You walk into my life, and allow us the pleasure of being with one another. A win-win situation, if you ask me.

There was a time when you stood at my door, but didn’t make the effort to knock. How was I to know that you were on the other side? It didn’t take very long for you to change your mind and walk away!

If only you had stayed! My voice broke as I asked for you, and realized you had strutted off without a morsel of compassion.

I stood on the porch thereafter, hoping that you would turn back. I yearned for the chance to hold you, care for you. I waited to be healed by your mere touch.

Shadows and time crept by, and my weary eyes dried up. We are not meant to be together yet, I thought. Perhaps you had varied priorities ~ but I didn’t; you were, and remain my priority.
Perhaps this is a game that you mercilessly enjoy. You’ve won, you know. You’ve infiltrated every defense shield I had carefully erected.

You’ve allowed this plea to shape up quite well. It’s up to you now. Do as you must, for I do not have the strength to fight any longer. Come into my world, if you must, and know this. All the love in my very being is in storage for you. Incentive or de-motivation? I eagerly await your
judgment.
