Therapy

We all have something that takes away the pain

You just so happen to be my drug of choice

Just the sound of your voice shoots morphine through my veins

Addicted to the high as if my IV was laced with Cocaine

& when the high starts to fade

Reality eats away at me

The side effects being chronic pain

I'm broken inside and although my heart still beats

It feels as if I flat lined

Loving you is therapeutic

Being loved by you is resuscitation to my soul

Mouth to mouth

My breath of fresh air

As you breathe life back into me

I hear my mind yell CLEAR

My heart beat increases leaving an arrhythmia

Mixed with butterflies

But when the sound of your voice fades

& the everyday becomes once a week

Insanity occurs

When the one who keeps me calm is locked away

15mins pass and I'm feeling betrayed

As I hear her say Time's Up & the dial tone fades

Am I delusional or just a hopeless romantic?

Too Dependent on your love to get me high

Defying gravity

& Enjoying cloud 9

There are days that I NEED to hear your voice

& it's not just a WANT

Sometimes I feel selfish

As I think to myself

15 mins just isn't enough

But better than not hearing from you at all

& there are days that my heartaches

From the distance that we share

When all I want is to have you HERE

(with me...)

The days that my body craves

Solely for your touch

Seem to make me weak

No sexual healing to relieve the stress

No passionate kisses that say I Love You

No skin to skin communication

Our body language seems foreign

I just want your body next to mine

As I get lost in the scent of Yves Saint Laurent

These are the days when missing you becomes overwhelming

The days when my high is blown and that morphine is running low

& life begins to take a toll

In yours arms... I just wanna be consoled...

When the tears flow and my chest becomes heavy

That headache starts and my breathing isn't steady

I think of you... Eyes closed

Using our memories as meditation and our future plans as medication

& Although I haven't found inner peace

You're something like my psychotherapy

Mentally cleansing but silently...

You seem to find ways to ease my mind

Effortlessly making me laugh

They say love is blind but you've opened my eyes

I'm Looking through a kaleidoscope

& although my vision seems blurry

I can see that Loving you...

(You) Loving me

Loving Us

Is my Therapy!
