The Edge Poem by Erika Wingo

Eye to eye
Cheek to cheek
We think we find
What we seek
Love intertwined
Am I yours?
Are you mine?
We create
Chaos sublime

Racing thoughts
A paranoid heart
Ripped apart
At the seams
Do I understand you?
Do you understand me?
One of us get's trampled
While the other reign's supreme
Why don't we say
What we really mean?

The worst of my fears
Come to life in my dreams
Old feelings awaken
Come alive and breathe
Will premonitions unfold
To become reality?
Am I my own worst enemy
When I let you mistreat my heart
While saying you love me?
