Tug-of-War
My jumbled thoughts for the day…
#42 – TUG-OF-WAR
I’m excited by this back and forth game that we often play
I pull you in, you pull back harder, then you suddenly push me away
It’s true, I’m fooled by your mysterious allusion
Confusion enough to cause mental contusions
I… I think about you in ways I really wish I wouldn’t
I wanna feel you in me and I know… I probably shouldn’t
But you’ll never open yourself like I want and feel I need you to
If you did I’d unravel all the layers few have seen through for you
The first tug you introduce your surface you to mine
Gave me the basics of your basis and I saved them in my mind
The second tug you pulled me into your world and welcomed me
I’ve seen the inner core of you and you must not have wanted me to see
Because you suddenly began to push me away…
You no longer talk to me, there are no more words that we say
You’re no where to be found and I don’t think I can handle this
When you call me out the blue to tell me how much I’ve been missed
Foolish cause I allow you to start this game all over again
I give you this emotional rope, I let you pull me back in
With the third tug, I love the way you hypnotize my body
In my dreams I think I feel your soul kissing mine softly
I feel your lips gently kissing on the places I’ve (secretly) begged of you
Then the fourth tug comes, you make me smile, I tingle cause you called me boo
But somewhere down the line, I’ve forgotten this is a game we play
Instead of pulling you towards me, I should just let you pull me your way
But you never do…
As close as I get, you always find a way to reverse the motions
A way to kill my hidden desires with your magical word potions
Each word stabs me in my heart as they drip from your lips
You tell me what role it is I play, how I just don’t seem to fit
In your arena, in your game… you say I’m simply not the same
As the others who you pull but never push in the game they’ve made
But I enjoy being the mouse, your cat instincts may finally catch me
The pulling and the pushing has finally made me open my eyes to see
I’m different and that’s what you like, that’s why you keep on pretending
By the pushing me away, you know I get the message that you’re sending…This tug of war game we play… will never have an ending.

damn dudes
personally, dont like the tug of war game, it’s confusing, and someone ends up getting hurt in the end
@miss_thiq - of course someone will get hurt… but sometimes the tug of war can be fun, imo. lol… but some ppl just play it better than others, that’s when someone tends to get hurt. again imo.
@ISLYMORE - what the hell is ‘imo’? lmao.i’m absolutely in love with this piece. the classic tug of war. man o man. i love competition and i love the neurological theatrics that play on the stage of mental planes. i love it. lmao. “eye” you open now?
@miss_thiq - what you cheesing bout? damn girls
@Arrive__Arcane - in my opinion… is imo. “eye” opened? maybe… what is this competition that you love?
@ISLYMORE - aww man don’t nobody know that computer lingo crap. imo. lmao. but i love the mind and how it responds to larger more suave minds. break or be broken. play or lose. simple rules. and i’ll always win. even when i lose i meant to do it that way. huahweughjaheugaoeigheialgehyaig. see i just made you turn ya face up.
@Arrive__Arcane - nah, i skipped the long made up word actually. and erybody knows computer lingo… keep up homebwai. lol, even when you lose… but you always win.
@Arrive__Arcane - i cheese cuz you like it
@miss_thiq - @Arrive__Arcane - ya’ll are pure D adorable, has anyone told yall that? *lmao*
@ISLYMORE - i dont know what you talking about….he talks about my smile all the time, so i figured i’d just give him what he wants…but we’re digressing from your piece
@miss_thiq - oh feel free to digress, no biggie! and yall are still adorable… i like it.
I despise that game. Whether it be a figurative game or a literal one.
Sucks either way.
But this was excellent.
such honesty in the beginning of this poem
i loved it, your beginning, if only that rope pulled through all the way to the end
‘m excited by this back and forth game that we often play
I pull you in, you pull back harder, then you suddenly push me away
It’s true, I’m fooled by your mysterious allusion

that in itse;f would have blown me away
@Prim_Prim4488 - its more than just rope pulling, but i like where your mind took it. i see what you are saying though. thanks for coming thru.
@walden_thoreau - i love when you come thru. you are the truth young lady. i respect you on so many levels. fyi and all.
that was fuckin’ hot.
left me speechless. i’ll respond when i think of something.
og prim copied the whole damn poem. lol. but this piece is ill.
@abcxunt - thanx doll. come by anytime! welcome to my outlet, again, come by anytime.
@Arrive__Arcane - yeah, i thot so too.
great poem “Gave me the basics of your basis and I saved them in my mind”
Loved that line I am not sure why I guess the world play
How do you play tug-of-war when you’re hanging from a cliff
That word that always terrorizes your mind, that word is “if”
If i lead then she will follow
If i drop then she will wallow
If I dream beyond the reaches of reality
Desperation becomes my ill-fated brutality…..
That is my response your poem…*smile*
