Push and Pull Factors

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

Woman:



You pull me in with

the warmth in your stare;

my skin burns with

the touch of your hand.



There is heat in my heart,

passion unbridled

for a love that is kindling

deep within my core.



Man:



You push me away

with your icy kiss,

your lips do not understand

the chill I have felt.



You cannot accept

the blue hues of my heart

nor the temperature

of abandoned arms.



Woman & Man:



We are too different,

one hot, one cold.

When we mix,

we neutralize our love.
