I feel my body begin to shake My hands and heart ache Wanting so badly to hold you behind the calm I fake I have to think about every breath I take To distract myself from the thirst I just can't slake Memories of your touch burn like fire My thoughts trapped in your tire Every silly stupid thing I think fills me with ire Just be yourself preaches the choir But your laugh makes my heart crack like a live wire Wanting so bad to once again touch you Wondering if you want it too Or if, with the rising of the sun, that desire flew. I see it every day, the hair I ran my fingers through. Your painted skin, that seems to every second be new. And worst of all I'm sure you have an inkling From the way my eyes are twinkling Or from the compliments I'm sprinkling And you continue to move at your glacial pace So different from the usual race But you aren't hiding anything, it is all there on your lovely face You're just a unique case Beautiful and delicate like lace Yet dark and dangerous and hard to chase
