Chemical North

Even in the darkness I could find her
I felt her pull from a lifespan away
I walked around in a daze but always compelled to her
like a faint but constant heat source
east
Just as a daisy knows which way to lean to feel the kiss of sunrise
so did I drift to her in some hidden current
helpless as mist on the ocean
I was led by the heart on a chain of impossible chance
From her teasing words burned as a shadow on the back of my eye
I could feel her gravity through those cold channels
Always determined, feet dragging in the dust
She was my compass
She is my Chemical North
