designate to her fate

Though she is now designate to her fate

she is not really free

Despite her proud protestations

about liberty

And this is not what I have tasted in her

this is not what I had expected after my fall

with out her strength?

she’s someone I don’t know at all

And how could he want that?

Her confidence and competence are

Cogence and compulsion

To my fascination.

It just doesn’t seem her

The vulnerable I get…

But submitting her power

I’d rather forget

ensnared and entangled

by first new love’s kindness

despite her new out look

this is a sure form of blindness

he offered you certain,

stalwart and ease

he offered you kindness

and a heart meant to please

convenience and contracts not meant to control

just gossamer strings

that were meant to tie and console

helping and tying your heart to his

believe me I understand

Im pretty damned good at this romance biz

But a true gift that is truly given

Is given with out

A way to check up

Or a reason to shout

So now she’s stuck

Between almost love and a hard place

Between the allure of accepting certain life

And the magnetic pull of her lover’s embrace
