Smoke & Mirrors

Smoke & Mirrors

A Poem by Kay J.

I'm living in smoke and mirrors
You want to be wanted
You want to be needed
You just want my fingers on your skin
You want to be the one in my bed

I'm locked in a cage 
A cage full of keys and opportunity
Don't touch me
It's a new age

Is there a meaning
Behind walls and words
I'm climbing and jumping
Over empty nothings

How am I supposed to know what you want
If you want me but not my feelings
You say I'm the first
It's hard for those things to mean anything

My love is unconditional 
I say I adore you
That's not what you want
It's too traditional

Take the keys
Take my heart
In smoke in mirrors
I'm torn apart

Love in obfuscation...

Lovingly honest about what you want and not afraid to be open about it. Brave New World.

"My love is unconditional
I say I adore you
That's not hat you want
It's too traditional"

This is a beautiful verse that seems all too true nowadays. Many guys just want to get laid and hopefully not deal with emotional entanglements. Let's just say it can be very hard for us guys to let a woman in.

Great job! :)
