Spellbound

the craving wells up inside of me

like flood waters never to recede

I can’t concentrate

my hands shake and body shivers

the banks are overflowing

the need laps my toes

the liquidity of my desire creeps up

and I’m destined to drown

 

I can’t hold it back

my mind rushes

with images of us together

my pulse races

wishing, pleading, begging

“If only you were here with me…”

these hands are useless when they’re not holding you

this mind is murky except for thoughts of you

I see you clear in front of me

the object of my desire

the drug I can not do without

I am utterly

inescapably

under your spell
