when i look in your eyes
my thoughts solidify
and boil at the same time
unable to think
my mind is racing
and when our eyes connect
i lose simple skills
inadvertent words spill out
restlessly moving about
i’m shaking and i’m still
i’m tortured and i’m bliss
my blood floods warm
my lungs forget purpose
my stomach swims laps
my ribs cage my heart
all i want is to tell you i want you
stuck in my own body
there is no time for this
ridiculous delay
life is too short
all i want is to tell you i need you
trapped in my head
let this out of my head
it’s all in my head
it’s all in my head
