heart & head

a single touch

 

is a lighting bolt striking my flesh

 

it courses through my veins, and i try to push it away.

 

first it travels downwards forming clouds at my feet

 

lands in my stomach, not so much a feeling butterflies

 

more like huge crashing tides

 

then to my brain so i can process this fear

 

not a fear of life or death

 

but a fear of heart or head

 

this isn’t suppose to happend, im not supposed to feel this way

 

so i move along and hide my true state

 

cause its easier to pretend

 

ill just lie and call you my good friend

 

so we will stay whatever we are

 

you want me

 

if you want it, you must take it all

 

my heart, my head, and my soul.
