Game-Changer

You gave me a new rule book,

saying:

• read it carefully
• live it
• breathe it
• treat it like your Bible.

Now should I abandon

(quickly)

(just like that)

all that came before?

Change the rules

Change my life

I hold on tightly

to my fear

of mistaking you once again.

Words,

and yet more words,

but action limps behind

at a distance,

disconnected,

edges not matching up

instead of hugging tightly

to each other,

as I once did to you.

This is a Three Word Wednesday post.
