My heart skips a beat when you near,
And my stomach turns into a knot,
Pulling tighter and tighter,
Making me want to cry,
Tears of love.
I chew on my lip when you near,
Out of sheer nervousness of your presence,
And the skin tears off further,
Until my teeth can't tremble any more.
I fight myself to breathe when you near,
Like something is squeezing my throat,
Suffocating me as I choke,
From seeing you.
But I can't,
Be a second choice,
Not again,
Not again.
I can't bear to watch,
Your heart flutter,
At the mention of,
Someone else's name.
And you aren't even mine,
I can't be mad,
Because you'll never be mine.
And that breaks me.
It doesn't stop me loving you.
And that doesn't stop the hurt.
But I'm breaking.
