The look in your eyes might break me
But I will steel myself for one last glance
This is so much harder than it seems.
Would you save me?

This feeling is overwhelming me,
Too empty, at the same time too full.
Mind racing, heart bracing
For the next shattering blow.

The joy of seeing you has yet to fade
But it quickly turns my heart to ice.
This happiness is forbidden, but lovely,
Destroying me with each smile.

I’m facing all directions but the one I want to go.
The decisions lay before me: paths wound tight with emotions.
This love-struck girl will recover.
Hearts do mend eventually.

I hope.
