Searching inside…

Now desire awake!

Almost better to see it in a dormant state.

Almost… but not quite

A maniacal ascension blinds the sight

Though immeasurably pleasurable

Danger it will bring!

The compulsion

The obsession

The voices sing!

… and they plan to bring down everything

I love the way you loved me

It set the precedence

For any other future love must be equivalent and nothing less

I was in a dark place when you found me

Isolated, lonely…

…and dangling on the edge of insanity

Only your extended hand pulled me back from the precipice

Where I planned to fall into the abyss that I had been marching toward forever

I felt almost human

I felt almost whole

Yet my soul still too tortured to play this role

My perspective so askew

Doubt I could see it the way you view

But you made me feel something I never knew
