Was that smile meant for me? Are my eyes too tired to see?   Terrified and paralysed. Mesmerised and hypnotised   Why d’you have to sit so near? What’s this ringing in my ears?   Knowingly and willingly. Silently and tenderly   How can I eat when my mouth screams to touch you?   Tortured in sleep, dreams content to explore you   Were you only being kind, when I brushed your lips with mine?   Longing now to touch your skin, ashamed of my imagining   Circling around, senses only betray me   Heady as wine, eyes that intoxicate me   I suppose it’s just the situation. Too confined to my imagination   But… somewhere   Was that smile meant for me? Are my eyes too tired?   Terrified and paralysed. Mesmerised and hypnotised
