It Takes Two To Tango <br />Date: January 12,2012 <br /> <br />There’s a side of you that I had to learn <br />I didn’t see, until I was burned <br />I refused to hear what others said <br />Was warming by your fire instead <br /> <br />But, you’re just the shadow of a song <br />Baiting me to sing along <br />You’re always there when I am weak <br />To hitch a ride on my defeat <br /> <br />You’re spewing flames across the wire <br />I’m a paper doll, catching fire <br />You set the trap, a Trojan horse <br />To watched me burn, you’ve no remorse <br /> <br />You play the game so very well <br />Obsessions glossed so I can’t tell <br />All wrapped in twine and pretty bows <br />My heart left buried in the snow <br /> <br />You mesmerize with shiny things <br />Whilst sporting high, a tarnished ring <br />A bit that always reins you in <br />Your song and dance is just pretend <br /> <br />Admissions never cross your mind <br />You’d dare not speak the truthful kind <br />For fear to put you on the spot <br />Confessing all the things you’re not <br /> <br />Always sitting high and far above <br />Never swayed by the pull of love <br />The years have wrapped your heart in steel <br />So that you may play, but never feel <br /> <br />A spider’s web, a fishers’ net <br />To catch the unsuspecting, yet <br />When you have me in the snare <br />I turn around and you’re not there <br /> <br />It’s a side of you, I had to learn <br />How to play the game, and cool the burn <br />So I’ll give right back, the fawn and fluff <br />Then walk away, when I’ve had enough <br /> <br />********************************************* <br />Copyright © 2011 Leria Hawkins, All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Leria Hawkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-takes-two-to-tango-2/
