In Spite of You

when it comes to you
my mind's all twisted
and turned around
like the dusty dirt devil
lost and spinning
in the wrong direction

I thought you could be
my someone
anyone
simple with only room
to feel and express
measured amounts
hormones and lust
curiosity and trust
racing at our own
slow place
mile markers in the road
unknown destination.

I wanted to have someone
whose name I could whisper
upon the night and starry skies
before falling into slumber

dreams
tortured and teased
I dreamt of something
more

I wanted to love you
in spite of everything
everyone
it all
show you and be shown
magic and pain
but now I've
set myself up
and built up
everything
just to spite you

I never wanted
to feel like
this
