i'm scared.
there,
i said it.
i am absolutely mortified.
i have never been this terrified before.
i am shook to the core
the core of everything i know
of everything i am
and it's all because of you.
i know your voice could cut through a mountain
your eyes could make an ocean part.
you could tear me down until i am nothing but dust
and i would let you.
i'm not sure what is worse.
the fact that you have this power over me
this sense of control i've worked so hard to keep to myself
this feeling that nothing will be right if you aren't here
or the fact that i know i would let you do anything you wanted to me.
i would let you shoot right through my heart if it made you smile.
i would let you trace my body with a knife if it made your dreams come true.
i would let you kill me and bring me back to life a thousand times over if only i could see you happy.
and that terrifies me
i've always said that being single is easier for me
those words left my mouth more often after i met you
because every look, every touch, every kiss makes me want you more
makes me need you more
and i know,
one day,
you will be by my side when my heart stops beating.
or you will be the reason why my heart stops beating.
