My hands, they became cold and clammy.
You, aware of the effect you had on me.
sit next to me, the fireplace.
cheeks pink, room hot.
jacket off, but leave it on.
am i dreaming? please say i'm not.
my eyes are up here,
not downward and beyond.
i hate you but i love you.
wanna show off, but i cover up.
am i stable? or am i not?
right now, my heart stops.
soul gone, body alive.
mentally sane? not when you arrived.
wanna smile, but i'm not.
do my work, while i'm distraught.
nervousness creeps into our veins,
the way you cover it up looks plain.
Don't look into my eyes,
they're filled with chocolate.
All you see, is the sadness you caused from it.
