she attracts me

when she's gone
I'm empty inside
every sound reverberates
as in an empty room
conscious of myself only

then, not long after
they begin to taunt me
the little ones that know me
and my weaknesses

twisting and distorting me
from the inside out
until I scream for release
prostrate myself before them as idols
and beg for mercy

Cold sweats

loosen the cinch
climb back into the chair
light a cigarette
look out the window
follow the light to the hardwood floor
then take another drag

smoke fills the beam of light
that skewers the glass panes
like the way she pierces my soul

She attracts me
And I am helpless to resist her

Beautiful, Bluesy, but sad, unless the room is only empty for a few hours at a time.

Beautiful, as always. Just left wondering who she is. She seems to be quite powerful.

"She" is very powerful Nicole, but no longer has me in her grip. I am always pleased to hear from you no matter where we are.

Thank you Lori. You also seem to see into my story. Appreciate your looking in.

Many thanks to Owl and SHDP for your visit.

Good to hear Blues, I've slipped away from a couple myself. Always happy to hear from you too.
