Doubt,
How it floods my being.
You,
You the boy,
Brought this upon me.
Makes me wonder,
Nervous,
Anxious,
Deep down,
Deep inside,
Behind the cold unyielding exterior.

I want you to give me all of your attention,
Attention every moment,
Like a selfish, insecure child.
You bring out this,
This beast.
How it consumes me!
Be mine,
Be,
Mine!
No more charades
The walls,
How they crumble at your touch!

The beast deep in me,
it fast approaches!
Perhaps,
Just maybe,
If you run away now,
You will escape it,
escape its clutches.
For I fear,
Oh how I fear,
the way it takes control!
It swallows my mind whole,
A love sick creature from the depths below.
One track mind.

Please,
I beg you,
Leave now!
Leave before it takes us,
Before the crash,
Before the burn,
The tears
The sleepless nights.

This weak heart,
This tainted heart of mine,
Cannot bear the weight of the beast,
Green eyes,
Pacing,
Staring at the clock.

I fear the the beast is not as patient as I.
I feel it creep up,
Squeezing my stomach tight,
Taking the oxygen from my lungs.
Oh how it takes me into its grasp!

I implore you!
Run!
Be free!
Don’t look back!
For the beast,
It fast approaches!


Love does run fast....
