Then it hit me
A swelling in my chest as if I’d taken the first reviving breath after drowning
A catching in my throat- widening eyes
Heart trace that moved quickly
There’s something there
One single maddening hole right in between and below my collar bones
Fall into me
I feel my eyes roll back as I think of the past and that void only yearns for the future
These veins are on fire as my mind is ablaze for all of the sweet, untouchable things in which I desire
My whole world quakes
Just like seismic waves echoing from an oceans floor to its surface
Hands twitching as they tremble, ignoring the itch to reach out and take what’s mine
I want something
Something so passionately consuming and captivating, you wouldn’t see me for weeks
Though, you wouldn’t remember to pick up the phone until three Wednesdays later
Just to see if the hands on my clock are still ticking
Or the sand falling through my hourglass was still spilling…
I wonder and wander from the inside out until my soul is exhausted
But I started out restless
