Lost in Thought, Found in Her Eyes

Frustrated. Time moves slowly in my mind, even if the minutes tick like seconds. Aggravated. Not a word could release the pressure building in my skull. Tormented. The language I would use if I were to tell you how you made me feel. She doesn't think a second thought of it. But I do. Every moment quickly becomes a year as her words cascade through the peaceful meadow that was me. I feel every good thought drained as her sick lies fill me to the brim with regret for ever opening my mouth and saying hello. And even though it feels like a millennium before I respond, mere moments have passed. I take a deep breath and the pain is gone. In the blink of an eye I've already forgotten why I'm angry. The blink of her beautiful eyes.
