Reflections of My Perceptions

take back you heart


i had no idea your heart was in my possession

when did you and i ever make such a progression?

yes indeed, i have attempted to teach you poetic lessons

and i am flattered to know i have made so deep an impression

but if your feelings are so deep, why keep them in supression?

would such unbound emotions be pent up and held in suspension?

not that i am by any means insisting you act upon your alleged intentions

for i no longer wish to make such public confessions

i have told you my decision, yet you still continue to question

i will say that i certainly enjoy your poetic suggestions

but in reality, we both know we cannot share a physical connection

and although it was fun at first to share our secret with discretion

since you called my name and it seems things have taken a strange direction

on which you cannot follow, in spite of your proclamations of affection

and i am sorry, but i cannot say that i too have succumbed to love's infection

and remember, you love not a man, but merely his poetic reflections

so how can you honestly that you can fully trust your perceptions?

so i ask you to take back your heart, for you know my objections
