I've been Pavloved
Obsession
I've been converted
Devotion
I've been addicted
Destruction
I've been activated
Vibration
I've fallen in love
Emotion

I whisper into the night the thoughts that can’t be rhymed
I beg beneath fluorescent lights
For words that can’t be signed

I love you
love you
love you, love
love you
you
love
I
You

I crave being next to you when I sleep.
I yearn to watch you dress.
I miss kissing you when you leave—
Without you in my eyes, I hate what's left.

I want you to consume me,
To swallow me whole.
I need you to see it all:
My new things, and how my room now glows.

I want to show the strength of my shoulders,
And how my arms can lift you up.
Because Heaven is made for two,
And my poetry is only made for you.

Do you feel emotional when you leave?
Because I do.
I think I love more than love is true.
Can you say that you miss me—
Like you said you were falling in love?
Because my life feels incomplete,
Without my heart feels sick.

She asked if I had stopped writing.
I said no... I just took a break.
I write when I drift between reality and dream—
But I was with you,
And I just wanted to enjoy the moment.

Now I lie alone, because you left.
You told me not to ask questions,
But you know it kills me—
Doubt is my craft.
Yet I honored your wish,
And kept my mind silent.

Your eyes looked far away,
And you kept checking your phone.
You sat apart from me in the car.
I didn’t want to ask—
Didn’t want to be a broken record
On a lost song.

I will tell you something—
What hurts the most:
I look in my shower and can't see your towel.
I smell the sheets, but they don’t carry your scent.
I miss you like crazy,
And I only have the walls to vent.

I want to scream and come running to you,
To feel your sweet lips on mine,
To feel your arms around me too.

Oh God, I miss seeing her in the morning.
Help me to cope—
It feels like my soul was ripped,
And my brain just needs dope.

You asked how I cope with stress,
And I choked...
I wanted to say, "With your smile,"
But that's not your burden to take.

I want to buy things and give them to you,
I want to hear your dreams and your burdens too.
I want to travel and make your fantasies true—
I just want to love, and be loved by you.

You watch the storm as I observe you think,
Lightning reflected in eyes dark as ink.
Deep oceans rage where I long to drown,
Pulled by the tide of your presence pulling me down.

The winds growl with hunger, but love makes me stay,
I'll shelter your heart when the sky fades to gray.
I'll write with my lips on your forehead delight,
Of how your mouth tastes like heaven in the warm night.

My hands need to dance on the curves of your skin,
Tracing soft rhythms where our passion begins.
Your bed is my mercy, a prayer I confess,
A home where my restless soul finds its rest.
