Comedown

I didn’t like you much
But you still impressed easily
My food is getting colder and colder
I kept getting distracted by thoughts of you telling me I’m pretty

If anything else
I must make peace with myself tonight
I never thought
I’d catch feelings
I never felt
Such golden moonbeams on the ceiling
And you keep reminding me
Of the time peeling away
Like paper walls and curtains
Syrup sweet feelings in me
Everything is clear, I know my purpose
I’ve never been so enamored with the company I keep
Your presence is a sigh of relief

I’m not looking forward to the cerebral come down
All my matches being put out

How could I
Creep and compare?
I knew you would
If anyone could
Stop the nightmare

An attraction with stipulations....I know myself better now and your companionship is clear to me...and I like it very much; I've had bad endings previously, but no more...."I knew you would if anyone could stop the nightmare"...a great line Alex... love this poem, full of self love and the ability to give love....
Best, B
