I sit here alone
Like an animal awaiting a treat
Mouth watering for one taste
Eyes following his masters hand
You are my master
Without you I am nothing

The time I spend without you is hell
I am overcome by a constant drowning feeling
A feeling which only feels good in this situation
For I know that when I hear your voice next
Or see your alluring face
My breath will revisit me
And my shoulders will be unburdened

I don't need oxygen to breathe
I don't need food or water to sustain me
All I need is you
To put air in my lungs with your kiss
To nourish my body with your beauty
And mend my soul with your smile.

You satisfy my taste for that one amazing emotion...
Love
Or at least that's what I want to call it...
But it feels like so much more than that
It feels like something I've never felt before
Something that I didn't even know existed
So I ponder...

What could this feeling be?
Is this what it feels like to be whole?
Or could it be euphoria?
Complete delectation?
No, it can't be these things
For these things are already defined
It has to be something no one has felt before
Since I've never heard these feelings described
Or even imagined

I'm tired of wondering
I need the phone to ring
And when I answer, I need the caller to be you
Or I need to see the flare of headlights through my blinds
And when I excitedly race to the window to look
I need to see you running towards my door
And into my arms

But this is all a feigned actuality
I know that I will go to sleep by myself tonight
But how long can this go on?
I don't think I can handle another minute without you

I'm going insane
But even insane people get a padded room
Why am I in this fucking prison?
This cage I can't get out of
This cell to which only you hold the key

Please...
Be my jailor
Unlock my existence
Piece back together my rationality
And release me into your world
A world which is only fit for you and I.
