everything

everything in me says

forget about him

but how can i

forget

the break of dimples before

he smiles

the weight of his body

on mine

the smell of earth on

his skin

everything in me says

walk away

but how can i

move

when his glance holds me

hostage

when his eyes see into my

heart

when his voice is stuck in my

head

everything in me says

you will get hurt

but should i give up

trying

should i give up

wanting

should i give up

love

everything in me says

it’s wrong

but my heart says

it could be

and that is all i need.
