You Push Me Away

I touch your arm

Gentle fingers

Caressing

Against the center

Of my universe

My movements disturb you

You push me away

I wake up and stretch

You’re still in bed

Though not asleep

I smile

And move to kiss you

My movements annoy you

You push me away

I had a tough night at work

I make it home

Still frustrated

Through low light

I see you sleeping

My heart feels lighter

I kiss your cheek

And forehead

My movements surprise you

You push me away

I know you’re feeling stressed

It hurts to see you

Unhappy

I decide to make you breakfast

I take it to you

You weren’t in the mood for eggs

You decide to make your own

My movements disgust you

You push me away

I promised I’d always love you

Your smile hangs

In it's place in my mind

Your touch

Your honesty

What drew me to you

Still enchant me

I'll always love you

But since my movements don’t please you

You've pushed me away
