Have i ever expressed the way that you make me smile, how it feels when i cant hold it inside of myself?
it feels like crying, that burning sensation behind your eyes except that it is in my cheeks and chest. my hands clench and my ears ring.


Have i ever expressed the way i feel when i think about leaving, how it feels to be full of all the tension that the world has to offer my tiny shell? it feels like a balloon in my chest and a snake in my stomach, swimming acidic laps, my mind is pulsating with the blood that my heart keeps moving in that direction. the fear is like a runny nose, or the tickle before a sneeze- a constant tiny aggravation to the membranes of my being.



Have i ever stopped talking and listened.
