Guilty of Pleasure

It’s you again, oh me, oh my. I’m blinded by…
Seeing nothing but an application of a relentless stupidity.
Oh my heart, and its restless inquires. 
First glance, from a stolen photo, first syllables, on the phone… I’ve fallen before.
But never in front of you.
 Revealed, unraveled, now I enjoy hearing the phone ring. 
I feel delivered some how, 
This is absurd? 

The coolest girl (Rizzo), turning into the band geek.
 I awake to thoughts of 
Life with your arms around me. 
It’s like I don’t have armor anymore. For my “amor”, makes me want to put down 
my sword.
You seek the real part of me, you see through my lying. I feel you.
In the air, my skin, you take oxygen from blood.

A sweet smell of butter cinnamon and sugar.
 Memories loading reflections of you 
Into my mind, 
Why do I crave you so? 
I adore my obsession, my one guilty pleasure. Holy sin, locked away from mine 
eyes
Just a window of opportunity is all I need, sacrificing and eating my morel fiber.
Because you are the only healthy thing for me.
