Relationship Poems

Steam erased reflections I didn’t know;
I believed with one slice he would see me.
My brain created cold chains of sorrow;
I glided along the edge to feel free.

Chilling in your car, we watched the sun set;
A boyish body wrapped by your strong arms.
Amber rays shone upon my eyes of hope;
Your soft caress weakened me to your charms.

My dearest friend, who brought love and passion;
You saw beneath my mask to my dark heart.
While you lay and I caressed your soft hand
Your gentle whisper promised we’d not part.

So many boys climbed up on me;
Became men and ran free.
Didn’t know how to make a man scream;
They were jam before cream.

He smouldered within my white flame;
Dreamed he would keep me safe.
He filled me with a sense of shame;
Held by his firm embrace.

You exhaled smoky words and enslaved me;
Enchanting praise enchained me to your heart.
You caressed my absence of self-belief;
The white heat of your kiss lowered my guard.

My heart believed all your obvious lies;
The fear of isolation took control.
You thought I didn’t know but my eyes could see – 
You riding my friends almost broke my soul.
