Colour images snap through my mind,
Jerky with emotion,
Smoking at the edges.
I pull my eyes to the words,
But my mind won't absorb them,
All they see, is your face.
I hold concentration for a moment,
Fingers stepping over keys,
But my body stalls at the recall,
Of your lips against mine.
I sigh, testing the silence,
A whisper of help into emptiness,
But I'm hopeless.
The world ceases to exist,
Your body is on mine again,
Staggering memories of your touch,
Incase me.
I'm furious with myself,
What is this?
Often if I'm standing,
I crumple where I am,
Until the thoughts swell away in a tide.
The worst thing is this quiet,
Because every creak of this house,
Is your voice telling me you love me.
Every groan of wind,
Is a moan escaping you.
I feel stupid,
I was adamant that no one,
No one could ever hold power over me.
I've built soft fortresses of lies,
And crashed against my own morals,
Broken my own promises and many laws,
Just to spend time with you.
Well, I'm scared baby.
It's hard to fight gravity,
So this is dangerous.
Especially since I broke,
The last time,
I fell for you.
