In Mind's Eye

It is your touch I must resist;
I struggle in your cold embrace.
The taste of your lips, so bitter.
Your whispered words, echoing loudly in my ears.

I run to the fool's paradise,
but still your face haunts me.
I hide within the depths of past glory;
Yet, you lurk in the shadows, waiting.

My attempts to allude you,
only cause me turmoil...
You laugh in my face;
Your piercing gaze taunts me.

Misery is my freedom;
My only escape from you.
Your tormented affection renders me blind.
Helpless, drowning in my own self doubt.

Weariness overcomes me,
my delusions wearing thin.
As I make my reluctant surrender.
I return to you, my friend...
