ardor

love is like a drug

intensity need desire

burning up inside

perpetually consuming

imagination illusion

self inflicted delusion

leading to confusion

lose yourself to the words

find yourself in what you've heard

roads and streets you've never seen

places you so sure you've been

leading to actions that make you question

have you taken the right direction

a maze of streets, of all the choices

listening to all those voices

clamoring echoing a cacophony

who you are or who you were

all these things are like a blur

constant motion never slowing

want to stop but still keep going

in my mind a voice is screaming

can I wake up, am I dreaming

is this real or am I still sleeping

head on a pillow silently weeping
