Venom

making my way through the darkness
taking in the familiar smoke-filled room
i walk straight to my usual spot
on top of the rest of the world
blood and rhythms coursing through my veins
pulsating with deep beats
i sensed you at the other corner of the room
looking at me
looking at you

your invisible stare feels like fingers
igniting within a forgotten flame
i danced with you and feel your body close
but separated by the space between
we reach for each other through the noise
through the crowd through the distance but i'm still
looking for you
looking for me
