Audacity
You walk into the room
And create your space
You mark your ground
And hold me
Slowly, yet swiftly
And I am trembling
Because of your audacity
Your audacity to disillusion me
Your audacity to touch me
Your audacity to
Blind me
So much
That I forget it all
Everything that is wrong
With you, with this world
How is it
That the second you leave
everything comes back
Everything rushes back
Like a far-fetched wave
Gushing down my face
As individual tears
But in that single wave
Is the entire ocean
The ocean that
Is somehow capable
Of stopping time
When you define your presence
It is your audacity
Your audacity
Which I
Miserably lack.
