Spellbound

Trapped; From the moment we meet, A spell is cast over my fragile being. Our eyes lock, Blazing with such an immense intensity; You blind me. Our hands touch; Invisible webs entwine through our fingers; Your touch paralyzes me. Your flames seep into my heart, Burning it from the inside out; Slowly, it crumbles to ashes. You slither into my mind, Filling it with fragile hope, Only to be lost in the future. Your wicked magic entrances me. I must escape. I turn away from your gaze. The fire leaves my eyes; My empty stare is distant and cold. I pull away from your touch. The delicate strings tear from my fingers; My hands fall from yours into nothingness. I smother the flames of my heart; All that is left is black emptiness. I force you out of my mind; Traces of wistful memories linger; All hope is abandoned. I am a hollow shell of disenchantment. Alone; My blind eyes search for happiness, But all they see is disappointment. My clumsy hands grasp for the comfort of others, But relief slips through my fingers. My empty heart yearns for love, But its cries are stifled with ashes. My mind runs wild with thoughts of bliss, But is merely deceived with illusions. I am drowning in my solitary abyss. Suddenly you appear. Once again, our eyes meet; All I see is you. Your magic envelops me and binds me to you; Your embrace sets my soul ablaze; Liquid fire quenches my thirsty heart. My mind surrenders to your charm once more; I am mesmerized by you. Once again, I fall captive to your power; Spellbound I become, And the cycle begins again.
