Mercutio

When I am still I can feel you tugging at my seams,
Your expert thoughts fingering the stitches
Of my self control, of my self respect...
And I promised myself I'd be done with this game
But when all is still, when the world stops moving,
All I can feel are your hands tugging me forward. 
Will you be brave for me, my Mercutio,
And tell me that dreamers often lie?
Or will you wish a Pox so sweet upon our houses 
Both, that I can't help but be drawn forth,
That you can then collect me in your warm embrace,
And draw "shivers of pleasures" from our happy place?
