when you touch my skin comes so awake that i
shudder
shiver
shake
and that scares me sometimes because
i know
that can’t be healthy, not really, not really healthy, not to care so much, not to feel like there’s
lightning
lightning
lightning
flickering through my veins, nervous system sizzling, short circuit in my soul, every time you smile
i mean
it’s just lips
and teeth
and a tongue
and that shouldn’t be enough to seize my heart, to make it go
shudder
stutter
stop
and when they find me dead of heart failure then i’d just like to say it’ll be
all
your
fault
only that’s okay because
i know
you didn’t mean it and my silly heart should
just
shut
up
and get over itself
