My phalanges shake under the
Blood red sunset
My heart beats rapidly
In my throat
My nerves consume
Every inch of my flesh
I'm sitting on that bench
Our bench
Outside that little store
Our store
And I'm thinking of you
Dreaming of you
And it's Autumn
And that song you played
Our song
It's stuck in my head
Because I don't think
It ever left
If only there was a way
To avoid this whole situation
Some way to circumvent
Around life
But there's not
And suddenly
I'm distracted by an
Angel
Or the closest thing to it
That I've ever seen
On Earth
Straight purple hair
Pierced septum
Thick black eyeliner
Cuts down her arms
Oceans in her eyes
It's cold
And I'm alone
And I'm waiting for you
And she's there
And my mind is spinning
And my heart drops
And my posterior goes numb
And I swear to God
If you don't hurry up
I'm going to follow her home
Because my mind is
Skidding off the fringes
Of sanity
And my emotions are
Twisting like pretzels
In a bakery
Confused and broken
The girl
That caught my mind
And stole my time
Walks by in slow
Motion
And the reason
That I'm so easily
Obsessed
With her
Is because she did
Something
No one ever
Could
For a few moments
She actually helped me
Forget about you
