Imagine.
the moment where you come face to face
with someone who will control how you feel
from now on.

You just know.
You know that this person will affect you
no matter how heavy your fists
will try to fight back.

Fight the fact that you want to see what it feels like.
That you can try to lie to yourself
and not believe it for a second.

Imagine.
Slowly punching the denial with one hand
trying to reach for a heart with the other

How can a being cause you to fight with yourself
about what is right and wrong
knowing how you truly feel

The feeling started at a slow and ripping rate
it grew and grew with the denial you threw
it had no chance against the rawness of this being's affect on you

You let it grow faster the more you dodged it
the more you ran the more it played Michael Myers
and appeared right behind you
when you thought the coast was clear

Imagine.
imagine no longer dodging

You keep still this time and let it hit you back
with the most powerful hit of intense friction

It creeps into your body
flows through your veins
chills your core

theres no such thing as butterflies
you hold falcons in your stomach

imagine.
accepting the thing that scared you the most

and it turned out
this intenseness only affected you

that this feeling caused you to invest
and the reciprocation was empty handed

that the fists you fought to share this feeling
were completely empty

there was no beating heart that you could grasp
and yours was no longer beating in your chest
