ENTWINED

ENTWINED

We may seem worlds apart

We may seem to be opposites

But do they not say

“Opposites attract”

Yet I know what is inside of us

We have many public faces

But hey we know our real face

It lies deep inside

Loneliness

Loneness

A lousy isolation

Seclusion so private

That sets us apart

We have our reputations

These need to be met

High flyers

We laugh and joke

The odd poke

We do what we want

We go anywhere we want

But there is a longing need

We’ve been taken to the cleaners

We’ve been taken to be the fools

We’ve just been their tools

We’ve tried to laugh it off

Loads of scoff

Loads of shrug it off

But it damn well hurts deep inside

We’ve now become nobody’s fool

Yet there is a yearning

We work to fill the gaping hole

But yet we know why

The fun, frivolity

The Latte, Mocha, Cappuccino

Capriciousness

But deep, deep down inside we know why

The one night stands are not in my lands

Two lives explicitly entwined

It’s the warm embraces

It’s the feeling of being needed

It’s the pure fantasy to reality needed

It’s the feeling of drowning in pure ecstasy

Love without treason

Love without a reason

Two bodies entwined

Drinking up each other’s wines

Two bodies not wanting to let go

Two bodies hungry

Two people devouring each other

Well a girl can dream can’t she?

That someday it’ll be a maybe
