Her name whispers in the wind while I walk 

The syllables sweet on my ears 

With each step my legs are drawing me towards  her 

Magnets pulled towards each other 

A force that moves

Pulls 

Begs 

The world stops when she steps in the room 

The echo of her boots hits the floor like a bombshell 

I feel the sound washing over me like a wave 

My face is the sun 

I am beaming rays of light 

Drawing her in 

A flashlight in the dark 

As our eyes meet 

It feels as if the stars have aligned 

this moment was meant to be 

I reach out 

My ears still ringing from her entrance 

I am pushed to the side 

Her eyes focused on her only true desire 

She is a vessel her mind the sea 

I am left drowning 

Forgotten 

Bones in the abyss
