Lines in the sand

 

For me

There is no middle ground

I either love you fully

Or I don't like you

I'm hot

Or cold

Not both

Trying to be friends

With someone Im in love with

Is heartbreaking

Nausea inducing

Mind fragmenting

And impossible

How can I hear about

Your latest conquest

When my heart is numb?

How can we talk on the phone

About the weather

Or sports

Or life

When your voice pierces 

Parts of my femininity 

That for years laid dormant?

How can we go have a drink 

When all I want to do is kiss you?

I refuse to lose my mind

Again

Over you

The line in the sand

That you drew

Beckons me to pick a side

As much as I love you

I love me more
