Disco Pain

No likes yet ♦

from the ABC set love

Plasma lights mesh into one point
Lasers focus beams ready to cut
Knife-like beams suddenly diffuse
Bass lines fruity and purple like plums

I see you through the haze
The eighties light show turns 2000's
Your face and hair and smile frozen
In an instant

Somehow we dance together
Bodies moving together
Forcefield anxiety pulling me back
Protecting you or me

You indelibly etch into my psyche
Filed and bound in a folder
Unexplored, unexplorable
Then tossed into the fire of regret

Oh why that blade in my heart
The pain
Let me cut it out
So I never hurt or love again

Oh dear this sounds painful! But well written, some great lines:

Unexplored, unexplorable
Then tossed into the fire of regret

Being just one of them!

Thanks Jolono, yep not much to be happy about here. Unfortunately one of many times. But all the more sweeter when "connection" is made or something else is gained.

All too familiar with this one, I think we've all been there ... and back and got the t-shirt. Nice one.
