Intoxicating

Jess Norris

I can’t even look at you

Because when I do, I can’t breathe

I can’t feel

You consume all of me.

Every moment stretched out in hopes that I might have

A little piece of forever with you

My memories tainted with segments of our lives

Intertwining to make one beautiful story.

I dream that one day when the world has gone black,

The stars will lead you to me

And I want you to feel the way that I do.

Because I imagine that your love is intoxicating

And I want to drown in it.
