Shortcomings of being a wallflower

To drown in the void; a steadfast oxymoron

But I am struggling to stay afloat

My limbs lack sensation, mockery of my mind

Vocal cords cut, stolen that night in the snow

Carried to the cosmos on an angels back

Helen, how you torment me!

A thousand whispers, torrential and coaxing

To find silence would be all end all; greatest defeat

But what a warrior I found in you,

Quiet and it's little reverie

Infinite; feeling as though I should explode

The quickness of newly discovered emption uncontainable

But in solidation I am weak, without your armed defences

And Helen is touching my skin again
