Bitter Rivals

I need to be in your
Space for just a little bit
Not invasive
Not probing
Just a gentle moment
To test drive my vulnerability
Without a helmet
Or seat belts
Or fear
Building up the
rpms in my soul
Slowly
Gently
Knowing the goal
Is to red line
Within reason
Let me test my
Wings at my pace
While I allow you
In my space
In my mind
In due time
We both will
Cross the finish line
Either as lovers
Or bitter rivals

When you read this to me last night, on the phone, I could hear the softness in your voice. It is such a shift in your writing, your voice. I think that is why I like it so much, it is outside of your norm. I love seeing your growth here. I noticed less harsh banging and more smooth softness. Less rough around the edges. It is beautiful. Remember that quote about vulnerability, it is the seat of courage, joy, love. All of those great emotions that fill our lives. Nice job

Jenn...you can't say that out loud I have the reputation of being a hard a*s, ruff, rugged and raw are my cornerstones to fame besides those steely iron men would beat me down for having these feelings and emotions....soft and vulnerable are not options in my world

i have held this race against myself many times.
should i or shouldn't i?
i need to put my toes in the water, see my reaction----test out hers...acceptance or rejection?

when we have been hurt enough, we develop this philosophy.

Good write, so true some relationships do end as rivalries unfortunately, thanks for sharing.
