UPTOWN MAN

New York, 2017
For all those reasons you know well…
I keep you at arms length now
By my choice, never closer now than just a voice on the phone …..
It’s where I keep you now.
But you never stray – or at least not very far….
You call…
You call…
My love
My torment…
You call…
You love me…
But for those reasons you know well, I fear you
So I remain here
And keep you there ……..
You are my soulmate…..
At times
it’s almost unbearable….
Why can’t I finally just say goodby?
