Stop

i'm shaking
but i'm not cold
i'm not scared
i'm not crazy
my heart wants to 
SCREAM
my body wants to 
COLLAPSE 
my soul wants to
BURST
my mind wants to 
STOP
thinking about you
it wants to
STOP
looking at you
it wants to 
STOP 
writing poems about you
but it won't stop
no matter how hard i try…
