Mindless intoxicated

hours and miles

beat for beat

two sweaty bodies

aching yearning hearts

become one

The fire in ice

kept your blood

burning hot

but created dreams

far too scary

for one night’s rest

I watched you suffer,

drawing me into

the trickling poison

that became your soul

blinded to truth

revived in lies

I felt me suffer,

hoping to believe

your ghosts were real,

and danced with your demons

until they became mine

adding to my menagerie

Your flight in panic

left me with wonder

swimming in regret

endless questions to plague

a mind already tortured

and heart again broken
