I like that, I like that a lot
You say, speaking in riddles,
For most of the day.
Edging on the dangerous,
Tip-toeing on egg shell
Online chalk lines.
But you remain inbetween,
Safe, stay.
You remain in tact.
Wearing your mask,
Not really giving yourself
Away.
Lucky number 4,
I promise tomorrow
And tomorrow and tomorrow
How about you promise me something today?
Holding your gaze.
Sipping dune bugs,
Slipping cubes of ice,
Falling by the way.
Unbuttoned buttons,
I drown in your eyes,
You give me butterflies
I want to say.
But you just flirt, and play.
Keeping your distance.
But you can’t / won’t / don’t
Read between the lines.
My question;
My reflection;
My conviction;
My affliction;
It’s just good chat Miss X.
