And the panic sets in and I feel myself spiraling out of control drowning in the absence of your voice I cannot breathe heartbeat quickens sickening spinning I’m dizzy and lost fully distraught at the thought of carrying on without you near I fear of the separation beyond the distance that separates us distance between the our hearts our skin our minds our bodies but now the distance grows as you flow out of reach seeping into the Great Inbetween when you’re beyond my reach and my heart stops speeding and screeches to a halt it’s not your fault love it’s not it’s just that I find I no longer know how to exist without the kiss of your sweet voice and the erosion on my defenses when you wink I sink further in love wrapping securely around your finger I’m yours eternally and permanently yours
