Unwilling to let go
Enthralled by the words
You breathe to me
Wary of distance
I grasp emptiness
In the darkness
Of the abyss
Stretching this vast crater
Between us
But you are closer
Than anyone
Ever
And I marvel
In the age of our souls
I am inebriated
On your attention
Your unwavering force
Breaking my sorrow
Chaining my self-doubt
To my loneliness
I have become addicted
To the relief
Of my mental struggle
Bestowed by your spirit
Your own unique drug
And I crave release
Deep in the wasteland
Of this barren existence
My humanity suffocating me
And the humanity of others
And the emotions of others
Choking and gasping
Until I reach
Across the chasm
And breathe you in
To save me ...
back room at work
trying to escape the AC at the office
