of course, i know you’re not really here, but when you miss a thing this badly, even the illusion is enough
even to this day, no matter the time, place, or occasion, you are always lingering in the peripherals of my thoughts. swirling and shimmering like loose specks of dust in the light, clouding my focus, and demanding my attention.
i crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. silent and starving, i prowl through the streets. bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day i hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
but i found in you what was lost in me
in a world so cold and empty
i could lie awake just to watch you breathe
in the dead of night, you went dark on me
we are the crossroads, my little outlaw, and this is the map of my heart, the landscape after cruelty
you enchant me. do you understand? i cannot resist you at all. i writhe and dance to your every command like a cobra captivated by a snake charmer’s spell.
i lay awake at night
see the moon up in the sky
wishing i could be up there
ease my mind and not feel scared
