Entranced by your essence
I cannot speak
I am bound to where I stand
You are what makes me weak
Yet you can’t make me let go

Every time I close my eyes, there you are
In your ivory skin, and your midnight hair
Your silken eyes close as I seep into you
Your lips form a smile and your eyes a careful glare
And I am safe in my false reality

Right here, I am alone
Under the root of my hidden trance
I hold your picture with trembling hands
You catch my heart with just a glance
Even though it’s never your real flesh

Intangible fantasies aglow
How can you not see this pain?
Yearning and burning is all I do
But you calm the fire with your rain
And I am left crying again

Perplexed by your contradicting acts
I am filled with more despair
I breathe you in with every breath
You’re irresistible and it’s so unfair
If only you were here
