I feel my heart beating hard in my throat
my stomach is pierced with cramps
breath comes quickly
my eyes fall like Alice in the rabbit hole
my thoughts jumble and crash together
my insides are quivering
my emotions are pinned to my sleeve
I didn't know before
and now I do
is my heart gone?
first in my throat,
then on my sleeve,
why wouldn't it be tossed out the door?
I didn't think it would be
I know not to hope too much
but I wasn't expecting this
you don't know her like you know me
she hasn't been there as I have
or maybe I haven't
but I thought I didn't care for you anymore
seems I was wrong
I am wrong
because I do care
you'll never be sand beneath my Mary Janes
