Charmed - Five

Five

If he can read my mind (I know they all can)

If he can see all the deceit and terror of my life

Why doesn’t he run for the sake of his own?

It baffles me, troubles me, gives me strife.

He leads me wordlessly to the dance floor

He leads me into moves unfamiliar and strange

I get lost in the sudden heat between us

And struggle to break it, to make it change.

I freeze where I am as I realize

I freeze when I know it’s all true

He must see right through me

And will destroy me before we’re through.

He eyed my face carefully - I knew I was done

He picked my hand up again – is this the end?

I panic and look away – through eyes they see it all

But he only asks if anything’s wrong he can tend.

It looks like I’m safe. For now.
