when your eyes light up and you are lost in thoughts
i feel my lungs collapse
i can not breath
i do not want to
i am breathless
and want the beating in my chest to stop
want to have a thousand anchors attached to me
and be tossed into the center of the ocean
i can not think of any other word
but hollow
i feel as though my head is full of tears
that release themselves uncontrollably
when i look at you
but all these things i can not let you see
for i know i am poison to you
because i am held down by my conscience
and only escape it for small moments
but even my conscience is condemned
because i am aflame when you are near
and it takes all the joy in me to fight it
what is this life without you
what is day to day if i am not afire next to you
feeding off of your touch and words
i am an abandoned island warm and alone
i am yearning for you
