In fleeting flicks of fervent flutters,
Unbanished feelings freely sway
Formed from limerent, flippant shudders

A force that'***** me like no other,
Calls the light I beg away
What room have I, in heart, for flutters?

"Leave me to my sighs and mutters..."
I hear my frigid heart relay,
Too fragile for these wild shudders

Brought to burning, stammering stutters
Nervous thoughts, frost-brought, decay
In pacing, panicked, manic flutters

This old and weary heart will utter
A word of warning ere I stay
Recompense for past love's shudders

Do I exaggerate these flutters?
Formed from limerent, hopeful shudders?
I want to know where your mind is
Cause mines straying, getting lost trying to find it

I'm getting cold here on the outside
Just let me in confide, confess
Let me by your side

Cause I haven't slept for several days
And my mind is kept preoccupied by the thought of you

Am I out of depth, have I fallen to the sea
That I've wept?
I can't breathe

Cause I and I and I am lost for words with you
And I and I and I am g

I feel it seep through my bloodstream
Infatuation creeps upon me and I can't seem

To let it pass, I do it to myself
Calling out for help

I settled in
And I settled with it
I had logic when I drifted off
But an entirely different shadow casts its cruel light this morning
As I rise and realize
The Silence
The Unknown
The taste of limerent panic
Devours everything in its path
And in its wake
Like a flood
I had logic when I drifted off
Logic when we last spoke
Logic when we kissed with hope
And now
My mind is crawling
with the worst possibilities
Triggered
and riddled with evil trickery
My eyes are open too wide
Searching in this vicious darkness
For you
Like wind through the trees
I'm left breathless in the breeze
Unsettled and sleepless
Weak in the knees
It's always this way on nights like these
"It's You, It's You
It's all for You,
Everything I do... "

After all the wars and fights
after all the empty nights
I find myself undone by you
and yet you never even knew

Why does it have to be so cold
Why pass me by as I grow old
how deep in love can I now fall
waiting in suspense for your call

magic enchanting sight of you
wells up eyes like drops of dew
glistening films of joyless tears
that dwell awash in aging years

You fill me up with such ache
a deep-felt longing heartbreak
your awesome beauty must be
such a devastating force to me

a reason these poetic works exist
to compel your will not to resist
my intentions man to woman
don't make of them a bad omen

it's creations most cruel joke
a wondrous beauty like a yoke
to hang around a lover's neck
until he no longer gives a ****

If you loved me it'd be different
It's not just men who get limerent
Love needs blinders like a horse
There is no erase key for remorse
Inspired by sending another poem on FB messenger to the wrong person, there''s no way to get it back, so It made me wish there was an erase key for when I felt remorse that I'd accidentally made the wrong person feel something.
