When I See You

Like trembling leaves from a tree
 and waves rushing to the sea
My knees fall from beneath me
 and the blood in my veins stops
  its journey to my heart
You whisper words of sweetness
 then rip my heart to pieces
Like being sifted through a paper shredder
I regret ever having met you.
