The Chase
At intervals you chase, not sure what you’ll find
Occasionally separate but at times intertwined
Dismayed I have decided to leave you behind
Sporadically you linger, enveloping my mind
Offering more and not use to being declined
A facade of us exceeding, living combined
Pursuing me in close spaces until I’m confined
Succeeding into the night, anticipating I’m blind
I hear you calling, your voice there to remind
Memories are pressed of you being so kind
Deceptive you become upon being unaligned
A separation between us makes you unrefined

What is it about the chase that is so alluring? Enjoyed this.
Thank you Sylvia!
an enigma of a relationship hidden in plain Sight
That’s a great interpretation of this, I appreciate you reading and thinking deeply about it!
Interesting topic.
It’s about overcoming addiction
The rhymes do a lot to contribute to the feelings of desperation
Thanks! I appreciate that!
I initially read this as a relationship but reread after reading your comment about addiction. It is really overwhelming to think about the similarities of intimate relationship and addiction. This is powerful. Thank you for sharing something so deep.
