Memory
The laugh, the voice
My mind can't place it
So familiar, yet so far away
Two strangers lie intertwined
Bodies bare and warm
Like a small pool of summer amidst the winter storm
Carefree and open...
SMACK!
The fog lifts in an instat
Breath leaves my lungs
Evacuates at the sound of the alarm
The laugh, the voice
Heart pounds
Heavy
Panic shoves logic aside
Like a bully on the playground
It's not him
But my body doesn't understand
