Pushing

Speedwalking straight in my direction
You approach with intent to invade my space
Move uncomfortably close with sudden awkward force
Your breath on my skin feels like violation

You've created perceptions to match your illusions
Falsified reasoning for bonds to take place
Believe I'm feeling how you want me to
Worry for me like I am fragile glass

For if I am weak and breakable
Then perhaps I would be takable
Want to save me from all
The troubles that haunt my wandering mind

Except there are no troubles of what you describe
Only your head they exist inside
Plus I do not crave protection
You know I can stand just fine on my own

Not sure how you came to the conclusion
That I'd be enthralled by your intrusion
Overbearing nature is not appealing
And you think you know just what I'm feeling

I watch you take that extra time
Trying to read between nonexistent lines
I can't comprehend things you come up with
I'm just sorry for where this is coming from

I personally theorize
That I am a want because you're in need
You're hungry for all you've been starved of
And see enough of what you could use in me

Though I can empathize with your state
I am not the dish you're looking for
Although you may like the way I'm plated
That doesn't mean I want you to have a taste

You're only focusing on presentation
For getting the unappetizing bits you've tried to attack with
An irritating pattern
And one I don't wish to experience again

By pushing yourself onto me
You're pushing me away
And I will push you back
By withdrawing completely

This whole thing was a mistake
Regret is what I do take
At a far distance you should have remained
Because you're pushing me in all the wrong ways
