Limbo

Bridget Riley 'Blaze 1' via Time Out, London on PinterestL

Stop tugging at my heart strings
If your only intent is to take a peep

Then I'm left stuck in that never ending loop

Where I'm having to rub my own back, cry on my own shoulders... all the while defending your inactivity and nuances

While you find yourself comfortably seated front row, with crossed arms and limbs

Filling a space that belongs to another

Out with the old, in with the new

A different facet and multi dimensions

I keep peeling at exteriors

The prize wrapped within seems to be non-existent

The version of you that resonates best with me, only existing in my fantasies 

but I'm constantly being drawn in

Now you've shown up again

Like a riddle wrapped up in an enigma, 

Different face

Different name

Same human

And I'm back at the starting line of this game

Unable to break free
