Rock Steady

My eyes linger instantly when you enter my world They light up bright, like a new lightbulb has been replaced I blink my heavy eyelashes, and you slowly dissolve into my uncertainty Your look tortures every fiber of my body I stay put, hoping to obtain a partial smile I feel a painful stab from your quick stare, your blade is dull cutting my feelings, making me fragile I feel the blood of my passion, dripping down my spine I have so much to tell you, I can count the ways Yet nothing is said on my behalf My tongue is heavy and swollen, scalded from his thing called love I tremble at your majestic presence, and you remain so cool and calm, chilly cold as ice No aftershock is felt, no a single vibration, or comfort  You are dry as earth soil can be The ground doesn't break, not even a crack My hands remain blistered, and yet no response  I look in the little mirror, the one hanging on the wall My hair is perfect, my lips red, my body small You don't notice my effort, I spray a nice scent Your nose is up in the air,but you don't look again I see you walk quickly, you seem to want to get away...you hide in your room I only hear your sour voice the rest the day Nothing i have done, nothing I said has moved you toward my way You seem cemented down steady to your world I feel your indifference, I want to shrink down and just fall How do I replace you, you seem so wonderful I Want to feel this way no more How to tell my heart to stop beating for you? I feel a rush of fear, how did it ever get like this I have concluded this is a thing that needs to be put to rest, it must end I will look at you no more, your rejection is to much for me to bear.
