You

You take my breath away
My heart stops
When you're around
I think of you all the time
You make me have panic attacks
Right before I go to sleep
Every night
Your words eco through my head
Like a broken record
You visit me
In my dreams
My heart starts racing
And I wake up shaking
You've pushed me too hard
And I hit the concrete
Left with skid marks and bruises
I'll over analyze your every move
Every word
Trying to figure out what's going on
In your head
I've done this for years
Ever since I was little
Unaware and afraid
Of what will send you
Flying over the edge
Was I talking too loud?
Was he asking too many questions?
It isn't my fault
My foot kept touching you.
She forgot about your message.
I got bored in class
Even the tiny things
Can have a big consequence.
I have to over think it
I have to expect the worst
Even when I do nothing
You'd shove me
And hit me
If I didn't hide
And avoid you
You'd probably be the same
A 200 pound man
With lifelong fighting experience
Feels like getting hit by a truck
Especially when he grabs you
By your shirt
Lifting you off the ground
Only to scream in your face
And drop you
Plummeting back down to earth
Back down the rabbit hole
Falling for forever
Only to hit rock bottom
Only to repeat the process
