I Can't Handle My Own Thoughts

Sibilant silences are never quiet to me
My mind is racing
Aching
Breaking

Cyclonic circles that I cannot escape
Never ending conscious streams
This will surely be the death of me

I cannot recall the last time I closed my eyes
Without your touch
Your scent
Your smile

Magnetized to self destruction
Rotting away with a withering smile
Awaiting death to end it all

I refuse to leave you though
It's too soon
Too much
Too painful

Let me sink down into your embrace
Glorifying in the fleeting seconds
Where I feel nothing but love
