Habitual
My finger traces her cheek
Then rests in her palm
Fingers laced
Then interlocked
Then released
Definition of insanity
Chewing on my nails
I taste her perfume as my anxiety ebbs and flows
Down from the sensation
Up from the chemicals
It burns,
Definition of insanity
but in a cooling sense
Heart racing, I disregard it in favor of the
Olfactory tricks being played
I can almost taste the strawberry mango
Underneath the ethanol
Definition of insanity
Chewing the skin now, down to the bone
Blood blooms out of the cracks, mixing with her
lingering essence
Obsession, devotion, confession
Confusion
Definition of insanity
Back into the cycle,
Reheating frozen memories
With a side of chilled antifreeze
All i'm really doing in the end is
Regurgitating ambergris
Definition of insanity
Snapping out of a daydream
I see her now in flesh
No moire or polaroidal veil
I place my hand on her face
And begin to trace
Definition of insanity
