It starts with a little dizzy And ends with a little sicky It crawls through your skin While your eyes are wide shut And You cant see it -as it crawls under your fingernails- You cant taste it -as it slides down your throat- You cant hear it -as it chuckles into your ear- You cant feel it -as it caresses your face- You cant smell it -as it rots everything you know away- You cant know it -as it takes you away- But It sees you -when you're sitting there- It tastes you -when you unknowingly kiss it- It hears you -when you whisper to your friends- It

I think that if we could all love in that way (perpetually and honestly and with so much passion that we could feel ourselves ready to burst with it) then this place would be so much happier.
