Symptoms

I feel it.

With every new word or sound

that falls from your lips,

my thoughts fog and my concentration narrows.

With every new inch of skin

that falls under your touch,

my mind races and my heart slows.

Or is it the other way around?

Me ? well I just simply lost my sense of direction every time a word or a sound falls from her lips. The second stanza ? I get the opposite. I get palpitations and tunnel vision .... :)

Simple and short, yet many thoughts shared and a curiosity raised.

I love short poems like this, I prefer to write this way myself. Simple but complex and moving too. I also like how you ended it with a question. Great job!
