Galaxies have collided,
my neurons have gone into a frenzy,
there’s a soundless explosion somewhere,
and god knows why I have a sudden urge to run.

“Run, fast,”
That’s what my mind commands.

But like an ancient monk,
my heart coaxes me into staying.

“Feel the pain, my child” I can hear it say,
“and use me as your sponge…let me soak up all the
emotions, let me wipe out the cunning brain’s commands, for I have a better plan.”

“Your mind is your greatest enemy.” It murmured.

And that’s what happens every time I see you.
Rationality takes a toss, my sanity spills out of the glass.
and my coward heart suddenly becomes a tyrannical dictator.

Every cell in my body is colonized by the thought of you,
and oh my ******* god,
you invaded my dreams too.

It’s weird; you’ve fermented into my bones,
I’m sitting in a ******* boring class,
and all I can think about is
the time when I put my head on your shoulder,
and how we painted a bubble around us;
breathing at the same rhythm,
hearts beating at the same Time.

But there’s a voice at the back of my head;
At the very back, enclosed and trapped.
“You must run,” my skull echoed,
“For our beloved heart is a fool,
and I mean to protect it.

Run, my friend,

for when our dear heart shatters,
and you go to pick it up,
only your fingers will get pricked.
only your blood will leak.
So run, my innocent soul,
Run.”
