I chase you

And chase you

And chase you

Around and around

The merry go

Round

The bend

When will it end?

I follow you

Wherever you call

Down dark alleys

And up blind paths

I’m in your enthral

Pinned against the wall

In return for favours

Do you have no compassion at all?

I let you lead me

Into a stranger’s bed

I must be out of my head

I must have lost my mind

Well that is what I want to find

Why I find myself here

The promise of gear

Your gentle kiss

The sweet nothings 

The longings

You whisper in my ear

Find me

Find me

You will find me here

And we will be together again

My dear

You lead me a right old merry dance

I really don’t stand a chance

Such is your relentless

All-consuming

Intrusive

Invasive

Hold on me.

I am in your grip

Your grasp

I gasp

And inhale your intoxicating perfume

I’m hot on your tail

The trail of your beautiful scent

It’s heaven sent.

You lure me and tempt me

With your seductive and wily ways

You toy with me

You play with me

You toss me about

Back and forth

And up and down

You drag me out

In search of you

All over town.

I pursue you

I seek you out

I hunt you down

Dead-ends

And one-way streets

It’s a solitary track

As I want you

But you don’t want me back.

You beckon

And I follow

I heed the call

I have no choice at all

You have me by the scruff of the neck

Oh what the heck!

I cannot not give in to you

When you lift me up from feeling blue

When you bring me so much joy

And relief

And release

When you help me experience the peace

For which I long and yearn

When will I learn?

That what I seek is not without

It’s within

Until then you are the answer to my question

And I will follow you to the ends of the earth

And back again

I will follow you until the end of time.
