Your eyes were the perfect chasms of passion,
and I fell so instantly and repeatedly.
So willingly and drunkenly.
I fell while grasping madly at the teasing glimpses of happiness.
The fears I’d once mocked, now surfacing bold and threatening.
Insanity whispers and ushers me along a perilous path.
I know, I knew, but now I care.
Though my tongue dances frantically on the taste of everything bitter,
my mind’s streams collecting into a poisonous river of thoughts and thoughtlessness.
You ask me to speak,
but I hold my breath.
My words pouring unfiltered from an internal haze, but faltering behind barricaded lips.
I hold my breath.
My tears, silently waiting to emerge, but flushed swiftly into emptiness.
There is no malice in your heart.
Only the remains of our selfish desires, uncertainties scattered in every hidden corner.
I still crave your touch, your scent, your smile. I crave forever.
I know, I knew, and now I remember.
and I fell so instantly and repeatedly.
So willingly and drunkenly.
I fell while grasping madly at the teasing glimpses of happiness.
The fears I’d once mocked, now surfacing bold and threatening.
Insanity whispers and ushers me along a perilous path.
I know, I knew, but now I care.
Though my tongue dances frantically on the taste of everything bitter,
my mind’s streams collecting into a poisonous river of thoughts and thoughtlessness.
You ask me to speak,
but I hold my breath.
My words pouring unfiltered from an internal haze, but faltering behind barricaded lips.
I hold my breath.
My tears, silently waiting to emerge, but flushed swiftly into emptiness.
There is no malice in your heart.
Only the remains of our selfish desires, uncertainties scattered in every hidden corner.
I still crave your touch, your scent, your smile. I crave forever.
I know, I knew, and now I remember.
