power
seven months now
i've watched him out of the corner of my eye
he caught my attention right away
what he doesn't know
is that i'm resisting
because if i didn't, i know it'd be wrong
the other night his touch caught me by surprise
he put his hand on my should for a fraction of a second
and the warm gentleness of his hand is what surprised me
for someone so intimidating
his touch felt so vulnerable
his voice softer than usual
whenever it's just he and i
it's like i can't speak
and when he gets close
i feel powerless, but at the same time
i never feel more powerful
his stare is so intense, yet gentle
and i can't hold eye contact with him
for very long
because i succumb under his stare
he doesn't know how easy i'd cave in to him
he doesn't know the power he has over me
and i don't know why he has such a hold over me
he can't know how i feel
it's dangerous
feelings are dangerous
