You soul stares me down. Your lips are sewn. Yet I can hear you croon. Inside my mind. Whispering sweetly. Mumbling deeply. You envelop me. Your cloying scent. Reaches its hand. Seducing me slowly Heavy presence clouds me Shaded eyes stare through me. The mist will not clear. Mesmerising my soul. Until everything is unknown. The fog will not wash away. Until clarity calls. And I refuse to listen at all In this moment. Hopelessly I dwell. Whilst my heart still swells Until its filled with tears. And your words burst. That which is immersed. In the waters of lost hopes I drowned so sweetly. But now I am set free.
