Proximity

Generate the scent
Of tangerine and rose
Graze my shoulder as you walk by close
When my heart missed its rhythm
Frantic disruption of my system

Twelve months elasped, since that fateful day
From my thoughts i banish you not
That i may dwell in the fantasies...

...I wrought...

...A wooden cage for myself
Splinters pierce my skin
My captors my flesh doth slain
Shaken, broken, bleeding thin

As i shiver in my little world
Memories i can't help but unfurl
And think of how close i was,
Yet so far, so far away
And the ghosts they haunt me,
It's in this prison i'll stay
That's where i'll find respite
From this Life
So full... of spite
