my fingertips tingle with longing

they tingle
until i feel

I'm an untameable beast,
So ferocious and vile.
I will burn you with my wicked stare.
I've changed into and evil monster,
There's no going back.
This fiery temper consumes
The now faded light of life.

It's not right of me
to want things to stay the same as they always were
It's hard to accept the fact that everyone changes
But you changing your absolutely perfect self
Hardly seems right.

Our whole lives we look for this feeling;
of completion,
of satisfaction,
of love,
and most of all
something besides the feeling
we all know too well.

Your lips searched for mine
desperately
Your heart was tearing and
breaking
And hoping that this wasn't the
end.

“Why are you lonely?”
You asked me one day.
And I simply replied,

“My heart feels heavy...
It's as if someone dumped all
of their thoughts and worries
onto me,
just before leaving.

It feels so heavy.
I just can't shake the feeling.
It scares me.”

And you simply told me-
while rolling up your sleeve-
“I know the feeling.”
