You Again

You Again

A Poem by Echo086

I am thinking of you again.
As my eyes,
My mind,
My heart
Scream for rest -
For sleep -
There is only you.
You dominate my thoughts,
Consume me.

In my stead you leave a shell,
A corpse shambling through the world.
You have emptied my brain of sense.
You have wrest my free will from me.
You control my every thought, my every action.
Impressive for one who's tried so little to earn such power,
Who has cared so little that I throw myself at your feet.
Revel in your victory, love.

Truly, I am yours.

"Impressive for one who's tried so little to earn such power,"...this line took me back and made me smile, loved the matter of fact tone of this work. It even resonates almost like an "echo"...solid work
