I CAN”T CONCENTRATE!

How can I be in this place?
this prison…
with no escape
from the torment behind my eyes
in a world I don’t recognize
and feelings I can’t disguise…

I can see only one view
ALWAYS…

only one me
only one you…

This is insane
and I rack my brain
trying to understand how and why
I came to be this way…
everyday…
today…
tomorrow…
yesterday…
it’s always the same…

like a broken record
stuck on one track
I can’t find my freedom
I’ve lost my way back…

obsessed with the truth…
with seeing your face…
with our first embrace…

as with arsenic and old lace
you lure me to taste…
to savor each morsel
take one more bite
as you possess my body
and take my life…

NOW…

buried there beyond your door
beneath your floor
is an inseparable love
together for sure…

Very predictable


Well, hello kooky, I haven't seen you around these parts yet... so welcome to the writers forum... yes.. i fear you are correct... this work is so predictable for the reason that it's stuck in my head and i replay it in almost everything i write.. in one way or another.. I can only surmise then that I'm truly going insane.. or the universe and my subconscious is trying to tell me something... whatever it is I hope it is revealed to me soon, becuz I hate the thought of the rest of my artistic endeavor only reflecting this one theme in a million and one more ways... lol...

Anyway, now that I've vented that off my chest... thank you for stopping by, reading, and posting a reply... nice to meet you.. enjoy your experience here and have fun on the boards...waving

yes, Ray... back when love was just starting out... overwhelming and controlling us... when we were so excited to wake up every morning and get to school anticipating that excited, i missed you last night, smile and touch... until we get older and more intense... when love can turn to obsession and possession...

Thank you for reading and posting on my work.. smile2
