"Succumbing to the Inevitable"
by Max PhineasI never really felt attached to you
Or maybe I didnt realize,
Didnt want to realize
that I was.
Pushed myself away from you
Believing that I could no longer pretend,
Trying to spare you.
But was I really pretending?
Perhaps, at the time.
Maybe we just went too quickly.
Now, we are close again.
Wonderfully, agonizingly close.
Again I find myself trying to separate
From you, from this
whatever this is.
But this time, you keep reeling me back.
I am but a meek minnow on the end of your hook.
Defenses wearing thin, I am barely resisting.
I think this is alright.
Beginning to enjoy the ride up.
Can it be?
So long as its slow and steady, slow and steady-
Im ready.
