i can't think

i can't think when you're around.


you move and the universe swirls to a stop beneath your feet. you hold hearts in your open palms, blood dripping between your fingers and disappearing into the lives scattered underneath you. your eyes meet mine and i am trapped. i never knew what it felt like to truly want someone before your bloodstained fingers intertwined with mine.


better hurry. i can't...think.


you speak and kingdoms crumble underneath the weight of your words. you carry weights on your shoulders, weights that can't be understood by the likes of me. i asked you to share the burden once. i dropped like a stone and you never took them off again. i never wanted it to be this way.


i can't.


your mind is endless, a cold expanse of unimaginable colors and uninterpretable beings. you hold such power, darling. i took one look inside your head and nothing has been the same since. you showed me heaven and hell. you, made of dying stars and fractured solar systems.


i can't think when you're around. do you understand?
