The Idea Of You
By
Nathan Caleb Camerer
An idea
It can start small
It can be huge
The idea of you
It can be a cure
Everything a body
needs
An answer
The idea of you
It can become a
disease
Incapacitating
Debilitating
The idea of you
A vision wrapped in
white
Shimmering
Floating
The idea of you
Memories that become
a cancer
The size of a
grapefruit
Shaped like an octopus
Tentacles attaching
to every part of the mind
The idea of you
An aroma that
permeates the sheets
Intoxicating
Exhilarating
The idea of you
A pungent odor
Burning tires in a
windowless room
Suffocating
Blinding
The idea of you
Touching
Goosebumps
Heart racing like a
cheetah
The idea of you
Nauseating
Skin touches skin
Blood boils
Hot from anger
The idea of you
A sound that can sing
you to sleep
Sing you to happiness
Sing you to dancing
Sing you into love
The idea of you
Words dripping with
poison
Hot like lava
Hurt
Hatred
The idea of you
Engulfing the idea of
me
A cocoon
Perched in the top of
an ageless tree
In the middle of a
park
On a bright sunny day
The idea of you
An endless maze
A tar pit
The light at the end
of the tunnel
Is the idea of me
Disguised as a freight
train
The idea of you
The idea of me
The idea of an idea
It starts with an idea
