Expressed Emotions: 5 - Fear

You take a step back,

Something flashes through your eyes.

Something I can't identify.

Before I do, you immediately turn away.

I take a step closer,

But you back away again.

I have the control,

But you're holding the reins.

Why does it bother me?

That's you're not looking me in the eye.

It makes me feel uneasy,

That I feel the way I do.

Demanding has always worked for me,

People immediately do what I say,

I don't have to ask twice,

But the case with you is different.

I demand you to look at me,

You just stand still.

I demand again and again,

Slowly, you look up.

Again, I see something flicker through your eyes.

This time, I do identify it.

It's fear...that means you're scared,

That's...good.

I've got through to you,

You're scared enough to listen.

It's what I've wanted for a long time.

It's satisfying to know that that fear was caused by me.

I do want control over you,

But what is this feeling?

It's not satisfaction,

But....disappointment...or rather guilt?
