it starts to stitch itself to another human being
remember that their heart is not exposed
and your heart will only be sticking to their surface
when you realize your heart starts beating faster when you think of them
stop thinking and run
run away from the feelings
run away from this soon to be earthquake
where your body is the ground, shaking
as you cry the night away
wondering what happened to their innocent ways
the way they smiled when they looked at you
that sparkle in their eye
and the way your stomach hurt after spending time together
because you laughed the hours away
now their smile is a cluster of jagged rocks anticipating the tearing of your skin
their eyes now a black hole
sucking in your precious soul
and your stomach is wrenching from the inside
because that's where, with their help, you will lose sight of yourself
you will no longer exist
you will be shell of a person
relying on them to keep you moving
and when they decide they no longer need the extra weight
your body is thrown into the pit where all of their previous prey sits
they say most predators are people you know
and i can see how that is, i mean
they've already gotten under your skin so what's stopping them from controlling it
if you are willing to remove your own heart to stitch it to someone you love
why can't they just remove it for you?
you're looking for someone to rely on
to drag the extra weight for you because your feet are getting tired
but trust me when i say this
it's worth it to just walk the extra mile
