Why is it that I always shake when I'm anxious? Re-reading our old messages, and skipping through pages. You enjoyed every inch of every word that I had said, I yearn so deeply to be the only thought that runs through your head. I replay in my mind every second of our last conversation, The tension that hung heavy in a room where my words now stay wasted, On a man who only pretended he cared, All the promises he made tucked messily in a box somewhere. I am now neurotic and obsessive, But I'm young and won't learn my lesson. I'll spend the next few months dreaming of you as I lay in bed, Shaking and cold and out of breath, Because I tossed away, into you, all that I had left.
