Trigger

In the depths of my mind, you reside,

Always present, yet ignored in stride.

A trigger I feared, so I kept you confined,

Locked away, these years entwined.

When we met, I can't recall,

But I knew to stay distant, stand tall.

For if I embraced you, I'd be ensnared,

But slowly you emerged when I despaired.

With your sandy hair and radiant grin,

You captured my thoughts, deep within.

No longer could I ignore your allure,

As you aimed and shot, my heart impure.

Loneliness now lingers in your absence,

Beside me, you were my solace, my essence.

Oh, what more could I seek in a lover?

Handsome, serene, gentle, and undercover.

You ticked every box, every desire,

I yearn to entwine my fingers in your fire.

To feel your embrace, your arms around me,

Yet I yearn in vain, forever lonely.

Why did you pull that fateful trigger?

Unleashing emotions, making my heart quiver.

Why return from the depths of my mind,

To haunt my thoughts, leaving me confined?

Perhaps in another reality we're meant to be,

Where barriers crumble, love roams free.

But here and now, it remains a dream,

Aching in the knowledge, things aren't as they seem.

How can I move forward, knowing the truth,

That my love for you will never bear fruit?

An accident, I'm sure, your unintended art,

Leaving me to love you in secrecy, apart.

For you pulled the trigger, pierced my soul,

And now, in silence, my love shall stroll.

A secret adoration, forever concealed,

As you shot into my heart, a love revealed.
