Intimacy is a Hell of a Drug
Intimacy is a hell of drug;
When I see you peripherally,
My thoughts are done.
The way light hits you
Just makes me nervous,
Bouncing ‘bout in my retinas,
Mixin’ with spirits.
Which, you might say,
Are oppressing my brain,
But I’ll misattribute you
All night and day.
Takin’ that serotonin,
Puttin’ it in your name,
As you run your fingers
Down my face.
Because, these impulses
Are shootin’ through me,
Driving my prefrontal insane.
I try to regulate feelings
That have no name.
I want you tactily, in-fact-ly
I want your intimacy,
‘Cause if you’re into me,
I want that dopamine.
On oxytocin, I’m choking,
These emotions, are roping,
Like I just overdosed
And am dangling,
Floating.
So if you’re itching,
I’ll fill your prescription.
