My Amphetamine

I see your face
In a crowd of skeletons
You don’t see me
Hiding behind them all

My heart starts to run
Sprinting in circles
Back and forth
A caged animal released
Not quite sure where to go

You see me
For a second your eyes lock with mine
Followed by a gentle grin 

Warmth and desire
Floods my body
Blood rushing through every vessel 
Veins pumping every which way

But then you’re lost amongst them all
And I’m left out of breath
Wondering
Where I’ll see you next
How to get another fix
