Lost in Thought...

Cold hands of betrayal run idly down my spine as though they were playing my own heart-broken symphony and I jump as those bitter fingers slam down on that final note, leaving me breathless. Steam escapes my ears as I fumble for the words so quickly rejected. Eyes closed, squeezing tightly. Count to five and now to ten. Let the air out and do it again. But patience is in rare supply and I cashed my check far too long ago. Your voice wanders in and out of my perpetual thoughts. I want to listen, but my own still small voice is screaming for attention and unless I bark out her orders I am left to believe that I didn’t do anything to relieve this shrewd imposter that has taken over you. I’ve searched your eyes and it’s not quite lies, but it’s the light inside that has gone missing. I fear that this fraud who has invaded your once captivating fervor will be the one I am forever kissing.
