your words spilt freely all over
me without warning.
you couldn't see it but my head was
pounding, my heart palpitating,
my lungs desperate for fresh air.
i longed for things to feel real.
between you and i, there was nothing
real, as much as you hoped there was,
nothing could have existed between us.
it was if every single second you
needed me. i couldn't handle the
clinginess. it was like i couldn't even
breathe around you.
