Numb

Sight…

I am here, far in the distance

But your vision pulls me in

Disclosed at your whim

I am numb.

Thought…

I am here, in the center of your mind

My name is Desired, Queen on this throne

No choice of my own

I am numb.

Acquainted…

I know your name, you’ve chosen to honor mine

The stench of your charm rests on your brow

You can reach me now

I am numb.

Together…

You and I are we, the result of your design

In time, enchanted words flow from your mouth

Sincerity I can not doubt

I am numb.

United…

We decide, with heart and soul, to body join

I can only start, you can only do the rest

Your satisfaction at best

I am numb.

Everlasting…

Sacred vows flow from your lips into eternity

Returned promises are forever mine to keep

I won’t lose sleep

I am numb.
