Your Face

I saw your face today
Just when I thought, I had it worked out
I saw your face today
In that moment, I couldn't find the words to shout
That your presence isn't welcome

It's so ironic how one day can change your perspective of someone
Once, ecstatic
Now gloom
Anxiously avoiding your face and, whatever feelings swoon

Forcing me over the edge
Seeing your face
Guides me off the ledge
Falling into an abyss
Into the arms of a catalyst

The wind was gentle, playful and, guile
I swayed, then stayed, going wherever it carried me
Now the wind is different, provoking, broody and, wild
Snatching me like a little child
Positioning me in place
To see that nostalgic face

I don't want to see
What I saw before
I now hate these feelings
Realizing it was all an allure
I was tricked by my mind
For the third time
I was snatched from behind
Now seeking solace

Don't show your face
It's now welcome
Don't remind me
For peace is very seldom
I can't explain
Without breaking down
Breaking down, would mean I'd reveal my frown
I can't convey my vulnerability anymore than I have
For your piercing eyes
Feel like a stab
Right in my heart
Where it's forced to live
Where my veins are disconnected
And there is no life to give
Please stay away
Don't force me to stay.....
To gaze upon....
Your Face...
