What is it?

Is it a world,

a love,

a girl?

A crush above

all else

even life?

Bought off shelves

can’t be a wife

for love can never be bought

its only a thought

that won’t come true

is it really for you?

is this really your world?

this one specific girl?

What is this feeling?

the tingling

in your chest

the choice of the best

when there’s only one choice

and you don’t hear the voice

screaming at you, “NO!

This isn’t right, you should know!”

but no matter how loud it grew

the voice would never get through

so it wails at the back of your mind

words that you never will find

and when three words are all you need

they won’t come, not even a seed

a single word won’t come out

the voice will still shout

but the words aren’t kind

blaring loudly at the back of your mind

the words become cruel

then you feel like a fool

you should’ve heeded

those words once needed

you draw a blank

like you’re trapped in a tank

her smile begins to fall

like you aren’t there at all

her heart begins to sink

just as you can’t think

you are losing this war

and she won’t take it anymore

this will never be won

because that that voice actually loved someone

it sits there weeping at the back of your brain

slowly deliberately driving you insane
