A Teaser From My Next Book. "Cut Both Ways" - A Poem ~

Cut Both Ways

Double sided love is the thrill he instills in my soul.
Double sided love is the stab in my chest when I've disappointed him.
Double sided love is the yearning I feel in my gut when he looks at me.
Double sided love is the hurt deep in my bones when he misunderstands my words.
Double sided love is the warmth of his body against mine making us one.
Double sided love is the sadness I have in my heart because I am confused.

Double sided love is the smile he gives me that shines through my eyes.

Double sided love is the hate I feel for myself when I betray him.

Double sided love is the breath that is sucked from my lungs as passion soars through my body at the mere hint of his cologne.

Double sided love is the realization that he is mine, and yet he is not.

Double sided love is the flutters inside my being when I feel his proximity.

Double sided love is the emptiness when he leaves.

Double sided love is the realization that ours is the love of a lifetime.

Double sided love is our near death, because of our love.
