I Go Crazy

When I know
    seeing you
        is not possible
        is when
    seeing you
means more than you know.

If only I could
    hold you
            forever one night
                then perhaps
                    my love-starved soul
                would return
            to reclaim ownership
    of this zombie-like body
and I’d be whole again.

Even when I’ve become
    closer to you
        than your skin
        I’ll still go crazy
    when left alone
without you.
