Valentine Poem

Duet

You have it

I want it

I work hard

You make work look easy

I am searching for answers

You ask all the questions

I’m looking old

You look young

You make me seem small

I give you great power

I feel like a child

You embrace your fading youth

You want more

I have had enough

I have less to lose

You are fearless and daring

I talk and explain my life away

You listen then smile

Then some days everything is reversed

I am on top

You are depressed

I feel invincible

You are defeated

I give and you take

I need and you want

I go and you follow

You love and I am seduced

I’d give a stranger my blood

You give a passer-by a smile

You want to be open but not harmed

I want to be friendly but not the object of unwanted attention

I fear the unbalanced in mind or body

You fear loss of power and strength

Together we can face anything

For all the valentines' tomorrow
