Your stare pierced my eyes and entered my insides,
 Wrapped itself around my ribs
 So every time we shared a glance
 It pulled a little tighter,
 Breathless, body lighter,
 Head spinning as you draw me in
 With every look the air so thin
 I grasp -
 Searching for a lifeline
 I inhaled your laugh and choked on the punchline.
 The venom in your kiss,
 The end of me,
 Paralysis.
