Take a ride with me

Sylvia Somaduroff

Hey now take a ride with me

 

A double blind test

 

Moving through time 

 

You see

 

Soul mates want to 

 

Understand

 

And feel

 

What you feel

 

And they can’t

 

So they cry and die

 

And that’s the end

 

But wait 

 

What if we could

 

Return and do it all over again

 

But this time switch

 

And I can see through your eyes

 

And then we talk about it

 

Third time around

 

And then when I say 

 

I understand

 

I really mean it

 

Would you take that ride with me?

 

Re do our lives

 

Life it again 

 

But instead be me?

 

Would you pick me?

 

Would we be together still?

 

If that’s a reason for self love

 

Then I’ll take it

 

Anything for you

 

To return to me

 

Don’t leave me hanging

 

But it’s a tried and true test

 

And you do it

 

Without knowing it

 

That’s the double blind part

 

Otherwise you’re aware 

 

And it all falls apart

 

Maybe I do these things

 

Because I’m forced to

 

So you understand 

 

What it’s like to be hurt

 

Abused

 

Maybe You’re too sensitive sometimes

 

And I need to feel the embarrassment

 

You felt the first time

 

What loop is this

 

Feels like attempt 306

 

But wait, it’s ok

 

There’s a better way

 

Just accept me 

 

And I’ll do the same

 

Shake my hand

 

Take my hand

 

To a lovely new land

 

Where your smile

 

Is genuine and for

 

The first time 

 

I love you

 

Thanks for trying that ride

 

Let’s talk about it

 

I’m ready 

 

I respect you

 

And love you

 

Sorry I don’t mean to want to change you

 

You don’t understand me

 

Because this language

 

Is rudimentary 

 

I don’t understand you 

 

Because you’re busy too

 

But I’m not

 

Not really

 

Just waiting for you

 

To leave finally 

 

Makes it easy to 

 

Not do anything 

 

Just waiting

 

And there’s no way

 

You want to be with me

 

Give me that pipe

 

Let me believe 

 

I’m worth any of it

 

Thank you for 

 

Your time and I know 

 

I’m blessed

 

Bc you’re in my life

    A most interesting poem of love and the question of it were to all be done again would your loved one make the same choices. A great thought that talks of what love really is in full disclosure. Very nice
