The rain  reminds me of you

How we used to be

Laid up together in harmony

No words needed to be spoken

The chemistry in the air was like such melodic music

It was all we needed to hear

We would laugh until our stomachs hurt

Take afternoon naps

and sometimes we would never leave the bed

We just lay there

With our heads together and our eyes closed

Our hands interlocked

With my heart on your chest

I was sure you could feel it beating

It evoked a passion in me

That became a double-edged dagger for me in the end

Everything is in balance

So damn the suspense

Just relax and release and let things unfold accordingly

The way they were destined to be

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
