An echo
softly, gently
Yet with unseeming disinterest
whispered into my ears
Constantly

A thought
chillingly, honestly
Yet with delicate impatience
burrowed into my mind
Relentlessly

A hunger
piercingly, desperately
Yet with sorrowful guilt
crept into my soul
Sinfully

A whisper
lovingly, seducingly
Yet with brutal determination
charged into my heart
Mercilessly

Today I lost my
Lucidity
