Tease

You're such a tease,

                               I'm sure you know;

You know it to your core.

 

 

You hold it out,

                        For me to see,

Knowing I'd want more.

 

You tempt,

                 You taunt,

You lure and entice.

 

Now cmon baby...

That just ain't nice.

 

I often wonder,

                       Why you tease?

Though the answer is perfectly clear.

 

You like the power,

                              The control,

To constrain me is your goal.

 

To hold me close

                          Yet at arms length...

You never thought you'd have the strength...

 

To keep someone so far enthralled,

                So curious,

                                 So deep involved...

 

You're afraid to let me near,

Y   e   t      y   o   u     c   a   n   '   t      k   e   e   p      m   e     a   w   a   y   .

I'm here to tell you baby

That I am here to stay.

 

Just as with you, it's the same for me.

                  As much as you hurt me,

I just can't leave...

 

                 You can shove and twist,

                 knock me to the ground.

                   But I know one day,

               You're gonna come 'round.

 

You'll see me for once,

                                  Not just as a friend.

But as the one you'll be with till the end.

 

You'll stop your teasing...

  Hold out your heart...

And let me take it...

 

 

                                  And you'd best pray...

                            To whatever God above...

 

 

That I don't go and break it...

Author's Note

Strange setup, I'm sure but it was kind of an experiment in placement. Tell me what you think!
