Flirting and Disaster

I want what you give
Your well tailored attention
Your childish mien
How our energies match
The feel from your eyes

But I hear you too
Our wants mismatch
The space you fill with silence
The things you carefully omit
Your manicured walls

My hands draw close to fire
My pull out game is taking forever
Someday I might shake it off
For now I’m dallying in
Flirting with disaster
