Lovely ambivalence

Got my flashlight
pointed at you
Let’s pretend it’s a spotlight
and that no one else
is in the room
Just you, me,
and this poetry
Take my coat
and put it on,
I like how
it makes you seem strong,
And you’ll have to be,
cause you’re about to play
no one other
than me
Now feel this windy
and cold night
While you’re walking
by my side,
Keep my cool
and don’t react,
To the hand you place
gently on my chest
Try to laugh it off
with a joke,
While you notice my hand
slowly falling into yours
Sigh and wait
until you pull your hand away

Can you sense ?
your lovely ambivalence ?

Now you can take my coat off
Today I think
we’ve learned enough

I’d never take,
more than you give
My mind is sane
my body weak
In this world
we’re both small
and maybe not so different
after all..
