Love-Sickness

A choice?

No.

This love, this lust, demands

To be felt

To be

Alive in me.

Burning in me.

Twisting my heartstrings tight

Until they're knotted

Tangled.

The pain of it

Clenching

In my chest

So I can't breathe that well

Or speak

And seem

A mute, a brainless

Creature

Fawning behind

A shabby coverup

Of false emotions

So I can seem

Disinterested

When really

I would rip

All the clothes

From your body

And kiss

Every inch

Your porcelain skin

A canvas for my pale lips

And the picture of this

In my head

Makes me

Just a touch

Insane
