Balance

This poem is not about God, but rather shows how we make people our gods & how we are chained to them because of that. Any relationship requires a balance of mutual respect. Otherwise, it's harmful.

You swept me off my feet.

Carrying me across rivers, valleys, and mountains.

i wrapped my arms around You and held on. 

i love You.

You make me sway,

You make me fidget,

You make me move,

You make me shake.

i love You,

i do.

Those eyes i fall into every time,

Those lips i collapse into each time,

those arms i crash into every time.

i do love You,

i do.

but i wonder,

why can't i stand on my own two feet?
