Your image constantly haunting me.
My mind and soul cannot escape
The visions that linger within my mind's eye
There is no escape to be found
Your grasp on my heart threatens to consume me
You fill my every waking thought
There is nowhere I can flee to
You are with me even now
I go out and there you are
Everywhere I turn it's you, always you
At the grocery store I tend to linger
Where the shelves hold your personal smell
I stand there with your favorite soap
I cannot keep from inhaling your essence
Are you the things that dreams are made of?
Or is that my only connection to you in my dreams?
Can this be as real as it seems?
You have overtaken all my senses
I feel your soft, caressing touch
I inhale the very scent of you
My eyes are closed but you're all I see
I hear all the endearments you've whispered
And I have tasted all you have to offer
As I drive along the highway
The silence deafening my ears
You fill the silence with your caressing words
My mind drifts off in your direction
As if it has no will of its own
You command my every waking moment
I have fallen prisoner under your spell
