Withheld

You’re just so intoxicating & sublime

We talk & talk; you blow my mind

Your intelligence & insight roll over me in waves

Just to talk to you is all I crave

Your humour makes me feel alive

Overwhelmed with love’s sweet high

But now you cruelly withhold it all

Claiming you just need time away from the world that’s all

You hold all the power so I must obey

But damn you for taking my joy away

My mind reels & my heart aches

My comfort & sanity is what you take

Days pass; this has been so very tough

You return to the world & me with it

Slowly I begin to breathe again

Until the next time you start this shit again
