Standing still and swaying waves, he came in like a fresh cool breeze

An energy that absorbed through skin, awakening what had died within

Euphoric and addicting, I couldn’t get enough

Allowing him into my veins, lungs, heart and my brain

Everything I had within, I gladly sacrificed to him

As quickly as he came, he went. Without a word or warning sent.

Who am I now, he took it all. Left my body cold and frail.

No light or love or warmth is here. Just an empty carcass bare.

If only I had been prepared, I’d have fought for myself that year.

To face him now, I’d never win. Because he has himself and all I am.
