Distortedly Conscious

Your computer's not fully protected. nor my heart, my dear.
I sit and draw
On you, my dear
I sit and think, of you my dearI draw my mind
Pours from my hand
Blackened with inkFrom you, my dear

I believed you
I wanted to
Makes no sense to you, my dear
Needn't sense to make
To you I do not speak
I speak to those whose whispers I hear
Who don't exist but in my head
Who don't have ears to hear, my dear
I wanted to believe you care
I wanted to believe there was something deeper
Not just words
But only words is all you speak
My emotions took over
As often they do
Clouding, distorting, confusing fantasy with reality
I come back
Back to me
Back to this
Here without you
Forever without you

We Move
Just as soft as your skin
Just as sweet as your scent
As tender as your touch
Sending tingles down my spine
Just as smooth as your words
We move
Together we sway
Slow motion
As trees in the wind
Ribbons of heat
Our bodies meet
Rhythms combine
In this moment
I am yours
And you are mine
The world fades
I see only you
I only wonder
Do you see me too
