uncontrollable spinning

In my drunken absence
I find my passion
absurdly driven
by the force that binds
the world together
Yet there's no gravity in the empty cavity
of a body here on paper
It's been erased by distance
of days away from you.
I'm draped over electricity
for a lack of something better
to hang on to.
And if I knew
where you were
I'd dream about you when I sleep
but you're always moving
at a rapid pace
Evading me as I trace
the spirals you leave
in your waking moments
through my life.
I'm kissing the paper
with my lips and cheeks
hoping words can speak
their way down your neck
to your shoulders
Where I want to lay my head.
But now I sleep instead,
Because it's the only way to find peace.
