I'm drunk with emotion

consumed by your amber eyes.

It's almost like
you are my painkillers.

A perfect distraction

from my empty existence.

A chemical attraction.

Am I truly this person?

How is it that I can be

so perfectly,

dare I say...normal,

when you're next to me?

It's almost as if I become you.

You transform me.

It hurts me when you leave.

I'm certain that you know...

it must be obvious.

Crystal clear.

My heart is a book open only to you.

And I can't bring myself to utter...

"Goodbye."

My emotions crash like waves.

Storm-tossed, raging waves.

"If I could stay here,

with you, forever..." I begin.

But you shake your head,

and your gentle touch upon my cheek

silences me.

You walk away.

My glance turns downward.

It hurts too much to watch you leave.

But it hurts so much more when I come back to reality.

My empty reality

that returns when my perfect distraction,

you,

are gone.
