The persistence of your presence
is as noisy as the sound of the ringing of my phone
triggering a silent alarm in my head.

You should have never given me that drink
I never knew it could be so potent
I should have never said yes
I didn't know what i was getting into
You should have never called me
I never would have said maybe
you shouldn't have said you missed me
i could have resisted you so easily

Realising our dynamic was my bane
and reassessing this made me stronger
yet in the wee hours of our reacquaintance
i find myself smiling
as i gaze into your sleeping face
