The Trance of Your Lips

My thoughts have been evicted

From what once housed my sanity

I have reached the brink

Where my dreams

        And

                      Words

Are consumed

And dealt

With you in mind

I take in all around me

Blindly

All the tears

And shards of glass

To pierce and cleanse my skin

Please

Hear when I say

Un-trance

What you have so carefully placed upon me?

Your lips

I yearned for

Since the moment I first caught your gaze

I was not fulfilled

Your kiss was the salt

Of starvation

Drip

Drip

As my throat is unquenched

Dying for the thirst that only your lips can satisfy

I yearn for more

Each mile

You trek

Each hour

Each moment you become

Farther

Farther still

From me

I hang onto empty words

And

Broken promises

Hoping you would be

You will be different

The gleam still shines

Just barely hanging on under the suffocation of reality

When I want or yearn for someone

My heart is the first to jump

Never looking ahead

Never searching in the past

My heart is the first to inquire

And rent outside of my being

Then slowly

My mind is next

It deteriorates

Into the puddle underneath your careful watch

I begin to lose all my process

Where I can’t set what is straight

I can’t plan my next move

I can barely use my mind to receive my next breath

To revive my heart

I’m tranced as each moment

I fall deeper

Each second is vital

As my sanity

My being

Is slowly destroyed

As I’m caught into the

Whirlwind

The natural being of your lips

Upon mine
