Here is where I lose myself

Here is where I feel it

Fingertips strummin’ my skin

Music plays from your fingers to my flesh

Play the sweet tune for me

Your lips sing to me

The siren song that I cannot resist

Effortlessly pulling me in

You smirk as each verse fades into the next

Not knowing that this song is stuck in my head

Deeply I fall into the abyss you have created

Each note is dropped one pitch lower

I hum to you

I hum a song not worthy of a word

In wonder, this is who we are

I wonder, how did we get here

Your song is silenced

With a heart so bent

For a burning

A fortnight

A lost verse.

I can be your inspiration, your muse

As my fingers make their way through your smooth hair

Your soothing voice

A whisper in my ear to tell me we’re ok.

Something funny happened here

Each note rings now

Unable to move without your fingers

Without the reassurance as you strum my skin.

This song is silenced
