Madness
Right here, nestled
Within your arms,
Story continues below advertisement
I finally get it.
Why our hearts beat
At the same time and
Why you felt so much like home.
With each syllable that
Dripped from your lips,
I was inebriated with a passion
To love you stronger than I already did.
Thus, defying reality.
When our souls touch…
It is nothing but sparks and elations.
And if you are what they told me,
Called: madness.
I would want to live in non-fading
Insanity.
