All That Stands Between Us

 Struggle all through them avenues

Snakelike and hostile though they be

These tenuous defences I engender

All that stands between us

Subtle twists to navigate

The heat of your emotions

Burning the way

Your eyes shining so bright

Your mind full of night

Lending you strength to persevere

You never should have ventured here

Your hands bent and hard

Bent and twisted into claws

Sweat upon your body glistens

Drips all down leaves trails

Along the dusty ground

Like breadcrumbs

As you grope towards your goal

Not knowing when cometh the fall

Moving forward relentless

Until we meet

Love and hate our weapons drawn

All that stands between us
