Silver Bullet

Was that smile meant for me

Are my eyes too tired to see

Terrified and paralysed

Mesmerised and hypnotised

Why do you have to sit so near

What’s this ringing in my ears

Knowingly and willingly

Silently and tenderly

How can i eat when my mouth screams to touch you

Tortured in sleep, dreams content to explore you

Were you only being kind, when i brushed your lips with mine

Longing now to touch your skin, ashamed of my imagining

Circling around, senses only betray me

Heady as wine, eyes that intoxicate me

I suppose it’s just the situation

Too confined to my imagination

But… somewhere

Was that smile meant for me

Are my eyes too tired

Terrified and paralysed

Mesmerised and hypnotised
