i never wanted to love you
i didn't want to feel the rush of my heart
the flush of my cheeks
the crackle of electricity beneath my skin
this isnt my choice
you came to close
and now you are in my head
energy through my arteries
weight crushes my chest
or maybe it explodes
or perhaps both
eyes roll in heavenly pain
blinded by colors and heat felt before
skin prickling under every touch
warm warm warm
lungs crushing under pressure
collapsing in on itself
until it bursts like a bomb
light and fire and destruction
stop me
let me go
the heat beneath my skin burns my mind
its hot and heavy like lead
its locked me in here with nothing but
heat
love
rushrushrush
and the memory of sickly sweet eyes
eyes that drip the color of syrup
