Love Sick

I am listening to your heartbeat
As I lay my head gently upon your breast

My throbbing emotions within
Keeping time with its every beat

As I listen to your life’s blood
Pass through your body

I imagine each corpuscle
Is filled with a tiny bit of my love

As it courses through your veins
To infect every part of your body
Like a disease

Until it finally reaches your brain
Where it’s slowly absorbed into each cell

So that your every thought
Is now only of my love.
