Opposites

Passion and pain 

A burning flame 

I want so bad what’s not good 

Containing, releasing 

My drive is increasing 

I wouldn’t stop it even if I could 

Big as a boulder 

This chip on my shoulder 

Break a piece off and take a bite 

Chew and swallow 

My presence you wallow 

Emotions run high as a kite 

Trying to enter 

I stab like a splinter 

Building, cementing my wall 

Brick by brick  

Pain in every slick 

Such a load to haul 

I push and you reach 

Creating a breach  

Breaking the boundaries set 

Yet nothing has changed 

And my attitude remains 

But things begin to get wet 

Wet with tears 

My strength and my fears 

Both showing clear as day 

You wipe my face  

And your warm embrace 

Makes the wall I built fade away 

Stepping out of my shell 

A living hell 

Not knowing with who to deal 

My fairy tale ends 

The plot bends 

And the story begins to reveal 

For all to see  

How you and me 

Coexist and interact 

Confused and dumbfounded 

Yet completely astounded 

Physics comes into play 

While readers say 

“Opposites attract”
