In your absence
I am strongest
It is here I most often
Resist the urge to scream
But therefore I swallow my screams

Your eyes creates images
Of a man and a woman
Who could have been united
In an ecstasy
Of cigarette smoke and sea air
When you look at me
My lips and my limbs are paralyzed
For I am spellbound
By the stories of your eyes
By how happy
The man and woman is
And by how much
They resemble us

Your lips create fire
I burn myself when I kiss you
But the pain
Nourishes my frozen veins
And give warmth
To places in my body
That never before
Have felt heat
And when your tongue
Follows my body
You put me in flames

In your absence
I am weakest
It is here I most often
Resemble a hurt dog
Howling without a reason
