Labyrinth of the mind

the words I try to speak 
the feelings I try to convey 
all I can do is hope 
that you understand 
by the way I look into your eyes
and hold your head in my hand 
and throw you around the room 
as if telling the world 
you were mine
 
but there’s vines wrapped around my mouth 
curled around my ankles 
dragging me to the floor 
so tight and unyielding 
that if I were to move 
I would be afraid to break 

and I look up 
and the ground has swallowed you whole
eating it’s way into your nerves
digging into your eyes
and I beg that time will be gentle 
at least this one time 

time is nothing compared to the vision of seeing you everyday 
time is nothing compared to finally tasting your soul 
time is nothing compared to laying next to you
     loving you 
          gently 
               and proud 

I’m trapped within a labyrinth 
lost inside my mind 
would you wait if it meant when I found you
I’d never let you go?
