Where did this begin?
How did you make my head spin?
How is it that I was unaware
Of just how deeply you care?
Interrogated, challenged, and tested
a generous interest invested
Honest discovery or a ruse?
caught off guard, did I amuse?
Comfort, pleasure and confusion
a mixed concoction of revelation and illusion
The game afoot, I know not the rules
what is at stake, are we just fools?
You hunger to make a confession
the lie to yourself a sad regression
For I see more clearly than you think
A threshold before, you teeter the brink
You stare impassioned at this emotional abyss
bonded by unexpected passion found remiss
Stealthily persistent you delved
found all the secrets I'd shelved
To be dissected and then displayed
a riot of conflict on parade
The clever acrobat bests the sad clown
another day, another circus, another town
This attraction, a hell of a ride
what to do when thrill seekers collide?
Push the envelope, take a chance?
Do we leave the party, or shall we dance?
