Cops and RobbersA Poem by E Suomo Waaself explanatory...but I will let each reader use their own imagination....Cops and Robbers~ This love triangle
Of you and I
Has turned circular in motion…
Me chasing you
Just another game of cops and robbers
Leaving me guessing as to what
Caused you to run left?
When right before my eyes
I recalled to memory the most sentimental
Moments of intamacy that we shared.
You held my hand like fathers do with their daugthers
Reassured me you weren't undercover, pretending to be a robber
But over the course of many months our interactions got less physical
Interrupted by the mental
We embraced the spiritual
I Arrested your thoughts of fear
Because you caught yourself being sensual,
In ways robbers just don't do.
Your thoughts were along the lines of,
"I refuse to elude to the idea that I might love you"…
But words were contradicted by actions
Empathy was very much lacking
And you were comfortable with slacking
In the area of truth to self.
Your disclaimer was a false belief that
Friends can grow to be lovers, back to being just friends
At the snap of a finger
But on my end the sting of the slap lingered…
Until the pont where I was numb
No longer willing to succomb to the dangers
Of a reck in purusit of reciprocity,
I'd gladly give anything for you to slow down
And surrender your fears with hands up
Because that we be just enough.
I would embrace you with cuffs of love
That would encourage you to be at ease
Because you've been running far too long
And baby everyone at some point
In life chooses to do wrong.
But I dare you to see the options
That copping out of this is toxic to the body
Causing shock that initially made
Our relationship rocky.
Chasing you is not a hobby, its an obligation
That I no longer can be accountable for so if you
Could please do me just this one favor
Seek to heal your wounds daily
And always refer to me as your Ms. Daisy
Then I'll retire my badge and accept the inevitable,
That you escaped from me,
And only my imagination can dream that fast of
Whether this love was meant to last
This game of cops and robbers.
