It’s back again
Stronger than ever
Can feel it eating away at me
As it gives me a feeling
Is it true?
Did I misinterpret?
Misguided feelings
It all feels the same
I feel alone
But I’m not cold
It suffocates as it watches
Waiting to see me break
I think I’ll give in
This has no logic
But is understood perfectly
From a perspective
I’m blinded by it
Losing my way as I spiral
I wish I could meet, the source of this pain
But alas I can’t
I’m stuck
Feel like I’m in mud
The feeling gives both pleasure and pain
I don’t mind the first, despise the other
Tried to break free
Tried to forget
Tried to lose myself
But it kept getting real
Vivid imaginations constantly
Of a union that may never happen
I turn and hold my chest
At the thought that I can’t make it real
Constant meet ups with no actual linkups
Always on my mind
Every waking breath
Makes God jealous
Feels like sin
I can’t deny that
But it feels like purpose
A peek in a future
But this future is on a cliff
Waiting to be saved or pushed
Forever held dear or forgotten
Accepted or denied
Why do I choose this?
Why do I suffer?
Why do I endure?
Why do I Love her?
