Emotional Genocide

by @deneka-raquel

Nuclear bombs still explode in my chest. Miniature mushroom clouds rise from my insides, Because heart palpitations, Isn't enough to explain the way I feel about you. Eagles still flutter in my stomach. Their wings still cut me from the insides, Because tiny little butterflies, Doesn't even begin to explain how nervous you make me. Roses crawl up from my mouth. Thorns, wrap around my tongue, Because being at a lost of words... Is only half of the story.. My legs are amputated with diamond blades. I have had enough phantom limbs to last a lifetime. Because getting, weak in the knees for you Is a terrible understatement. This is emotional genocide And you are on the winning side.
