D.E.

What does it mean
when my heart
feels chased?
We smiled, linked arms
We talked
embraced

The only blame
is the course
of the tide
A deep and open
restless guide

My path was straight
My dreams are true
but now I’ve been
disarmed
by you

Although permission
was never granted
I find myself
here
enchanted
