But in the blink of an eye, the beat of a heart, dragonsfire turns to icy fear: Where are you going, what did I say? Don't you know I didn't mean it?
And fear becomes bitter disappointment: You don't know me at all! If you did, you would know that go away means don't leave me!
But in the end you're gone, and as I drown in misery I realize:

You always felt your mind was my toy
In a game of tug-of-war
It was always push and pull
You couldn't take it any more

I always knew that you would leave
As though it was prophecy
But the prophecy was self-fulfilled
And in the end you left me
I like it. I like poetry that has rhythm. don't so much like the kind that doesn't have a "flow" to it. That's just me.
