Broken Fences
My senses are over run
You’ve distorted every one
Now my emotions sit on fences
Unsure how to fend offences
How my eyes tend to deceive
Peripheral sightings I believe
You are the corners of my vision
The cause of my internal division
Your taste is everlasting
My reason for desperate fasting
A scent that hits me like a train
Still, I can’t help but inhale again
I hear your laugh in other rooms
And when my still heartbeat resumes
I find them empty in the dark
Wanting your light, just a spark
You always seem just out of reach
I don’t dare of hope to breach
I know you’re not at my fingertips
I swear they feel your fading lips
My senses are forever yours
Gone with why’s and wherefores
Stripped down to my defenses
Fallen off of broken fences
