What is This?
Fluttering in the breeze
like a sheet in the wind
my heart starts to pound
Now I’m nervous. Begin,
the terror at being found
out about this affection.
Boy, am I in dire need
of some alone time. Reflection,
to sort out all these feelings
that petrify during the day
and swallow me whole every
night, every hour. Away,
with you! The mere thought
of your face sends me reeling.
I hate you, for making me act
this way. Is it just a feeling
or an action? Is this love
or is it emotion? Not,
nor, never have I experienced
this. My knees feel weak. Locked,
along with my jaw. I cannot
say anything without wondering
if what we’re doing is right.
Around you I am plundering,
into an abyss made by, we,
us. Why don’t I make sense?
You scatter my thoughts,
though they’re mostly nonsense.
Before we came this far,
I could sit and utter nothing
Hoping that you’d take a hint
and come by. Say something,
and tell me what this feeling is.
