Electric City by Evgeni Dinev/FreeDigitalPhotos.net
A fleeting glance
and there he was
My past
My future?
The involuntary response
is angering
A tumult of emotion
Excitement
at seeing him again
Worry
knowing I have no control
The alarm sounding,
red lights flashing
All this,
just from
a fleeting glance

You
You have lit the flame again
glowing pale blue and orange
heating my heart
and melting the ice
You
With your simple ideals
and complicated past
mirroring my own
connected by pain
You
A comedian, a friend
unassuming and innocent
as unreachable as the moon
You
I have to thank
even when the guilt descends
even when the tears will come
You

Go away!
Get out of my brain,
the pit of my stomach!
What good are these feelings?
to tempt, to torture?
to guide, to lead?
The road to ruin
or the path to happiness?
