The Pause to My Pivot

The frustration that comes with the paralysis of your senses.

The dawn is approaching 

And I know I'm not your sun

I attempt to turn around

I'm paused in time

Yet you're not mine

If I could retrieve my breath

Out of your clasped hands

Maybe then I could walk away

I try to block your gales

My function fails

I could take a match

Ignite the string between us

And give a final sigh

But not before my fingers trace

Across your face

I sense a little violence in this.

Thanks for your review. There is definitely a little desperation to break the magnetism and it can bring up violent thoughts.

The idea of extinguishing something so alive
One wonders if its right
or pure murder
I enjoyed reading this

[Cobblestone Traveler]

I find your perspective fascinating. Thanks so much for reading.

Even when you know the relationship is one-sided, it is difficult to walk away. The strong emotions come through. Well written. LydI**

I so understand your reluctance to turn away. Finding a reason, any reason to linger.

[Cobblestone Traveler]

Precisely. Thank you for your observant review. :)

I like the stopping and starting with the different rhythms. The feeling of a machine working perfectly then stalling. Makes it very interesting to read. Fab job. :)
