A Poem

This poem is about the way being in love can make one feel

“Killing Me Softly”

My mind wonders
And all I do is think of you
I breathed you and became high
Intoxicated by your smile
Drunken by your touch
Under the influence of your tender kiss

Brain cells slowly dying
Replaced by thoughts of you
Captivated by our times spent holding each other
I am an addict, addicted to every fiber of your being
I simply cannot get enough

Emotionally murdered
A slow death
Shot in the heart by an assassin named Cupid
Damn you! Little naked baby boy with an arrow
Why did you choose me?

Poison in my veins
Deadly chemicals
Clouding my mind
A lethal injection to my soul
A lover’s suicide from being both emotionally
And physically satisfied

The things you do
Plaguing every inch of my existence
A drug overdose of desire
A breathtaking homicide
And yet I want more and more

Someone please dial 9-1-1
My blood heats up and runs fire straight through my core
When your presence is near
A satisfying strangulation
That I would commit over and over again…
