#hypothalamus
n.  hy•po•thal•a•mus \-ˈthal-ə-məs\ : the part of the brain that controls fight or flight responses September 23rd The first time our eyes met Travelling across the room Not knowing that those were the same eyes That could **** me with a smile December 28th I found out that you wrote And **** that was hot Your words that got me hooked Were the same ones that cut my strings February 14th We were nothing close to lovers Not even bestfriends But I somehow felt less lonely Talking to you everyday April 8th The beginning of heat And I think I barely noticed Because the thought of you Makes blood rush to my cheek June 19th The start of school And the start of the drift Or maybe it was just stress? I hung on to our conversations July 31st You talked about this new girl And how she was pretty And funny And everything I wasn’t August 17th We haven’t talked in 2 weeks Not like you noticed much All you cared about was her I'm starting to miss you Alot September 27th I was in Biology I studied the hypothalamus And how it controlled The fight or flight response of our body September 27th I was studying the hypothalamus And learned that the body has a natural instinct To detect danger or warning Thus activating the hypothalamus September 27th I was studying the hypothalamus And **** who gave you the right to walk in my mind I was studying the hypothalamus for God’s sake how does this even relate to you? I saw you in everything A notebook – Cos you write Coffee – because you loved it The Fault In Our Stars – because you hated it Pictures of New York – because it was your dream My playlist – because you made it My jacket – because it smells like you My little sister – because she looks for you My mother – because she still makes your favorite dinner whenever you visit The flowers on our porch – because you planted them Hot Pockets – because you despised them But **** never did I expect to see you in a hypothalamus September 27th People don’t come with warning signs attached to their necks And even if our body has a natural instinct to detect danger People like you, know just the right things to say or do to trick my body into thinking you're good for me You know my passcode, how to get through my walls So all this time I’ve been wondering Where was my hypothalamus, if I even had one Why didn’t it warn me To flee your arms before I got entangled in your words, Before I sunk in the quicksand of your charm Why wasn’t I warned, to fight or flight, before I got hurt this bad? Why wasn’t I warned of the danger that was you.
