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 skinthis isnt my choice
you came to close
and now you are in my head
energy through my arteriesweight crushes my chest
or maybe it explodes
or perhaps botheyes roll in heavenly pain
blinded by colors and heat felt beforeskin prickling under every touch
warm warm warmlungs crushing under pressure
collapsing in on itself
until it bursts like a bomb
light and fire and destructionstop me
let me go
the heat beneath my skin burns my mindits hot and heavy like lead
its locked me in here with nothing but
heat
love
rushrushrushand the memory of sickly sweet eyes
eyes that drip the color of syrup
