funny how
we mutually forgot:
two people
once in love
have abandoned the past
and forged ahead

but then you casually
waltzed in
and embraced me
for old times sake
and now

i am tugging at your shirt
burying my face in the warmth
of your neck, i am
feeling the security of your palms
and it becomes apparent
that you don't want to leave, either

but this is all wrong because
this was not our intention and now
we are bait in the spiderweb of our past
and missing all those sacred things we've lost

if i ask very nicely, will you stay?
