Who am I? What have I become? No solace in solitude Solidifying my sadness In singular significance Silently stewing somberly In sorrow What can be done? Your brilliance is overwhelming Tearing and gnashing At the corners of my mind Your radiance and energy Over charges my eyes So much so That I feel blind And I can't unwind Heart strings Concentrically coiled Around your fingers Every step Every word Every noticed common interest Highlighting compatibility From now into infinity Intrinsically You pull those strings Bringing me closer Yet so far away SLAM! Rip and shred My heart yanked from my chest Knocking me breathless A gut punch Too high to jump Too low to duck My brain creates Images of competition And I'm losing....... Who am I? What have I become? What is this? And what can be done?
