mania

You haven’t just been running through

My mind,

You haven’t just been stuck on my mind,

I let you in slowly

Perhaps,

A bit slow

As your face dug its roots

In my mind

You’re all settled down

And you’ve been here longer

Than I could have admitted –

Now longer than I can remember.

It’s taking over now

And for more days than I

Can number,

There has been no other

Thought –

Person –

Thought.

For more days than I can tell

I’ve thought of nothing else

I’ve been on the verge –

no, I’ve been in the depths 

Of mania

I’ve had no other thought

but you.
