*there is no possible way i could ever refuse you. your eyes pulling me with a constantly questioning glare. your lips always teasing me. it takes every ounce of strength and will power to keep my heart from leaping out of my chest. tears always threatening to spill over. i wish i could sleep away your voice and smile. sleep through the quiet ache. is everything an excuse to try to make my fall as gentle as possible? will a broken heart hurt less if it's dismantled slowly? piece by piece? a tiny time bomb beating in my chest.
*i'm consumed. there is so much i want to say. so much i need to say. will it matter? is this all an act? like a circus spectacle? your audience held captive by your lion-size smile and charisma. i choke on the popcorn and the cotton candy sweetness stings my lips. the line between fantasy and reality has become a blur.
