Go Away

You scare me

The way when fear consumes the body and one can barely breathe

You terrify me

The way when fear causes you to act like a deer and freeze in place

You’re different

In a way that’s contradicting to a very dark history I carry everyday

I suffocate

Trying to hold my breathe contemplating if you are actually real

I exhale

Deeper and deeper until the carbon dioxide makes my head spin

You breathe into me

Like a fresh sea breeze that is warm and crisp and cool like a breath taken in

Is it magic?

Only books write about these ideologies that simply can not be true

Are these lies?

I am falling for because I’m learning to let my guard down with you

Am I stupid?

I’ve never been dumb but I can see myself being very stupid for you

Is this smart?

To allow you to love me in all the ways you demand from me to let you do

Am I qualified?

To fit into your life unexpectedly and with actual desire to completely sit and stay

You’ll break me

If you ever go away
