Magnetic Fire

He says
Stay cool baby
But - I know - he is falling inside himself
As I am - within me

We cannot
Stop
We move so
Fast
It's like a
Race to the finish line
But I don't see an
End
And I hope there won't come one
In sight

I am trapped in this I
I can't move I can't breathe I'm
Gasping - gasping - gasping for air
I am a danger to myself. I may suffocate

I am not safe to be around me
We are not
Safe
Around each other
We are each a
Danger

For this passion that
Entangles
A magnetic
Emotion
Sensual in every breath

We are barely breathing
Barely alive as we
Struggle
Pull towards eachother
And
Away for fear
Of our strength
In
Our passion.
