Disinclined Flame


I wanna say

that I never felt like this before

but I say that every time

however this still feels like more.

I don't wanna  jinx it

or cause you to  run away. 

I'm holding back cause I feel like you won't wanna stay. 

-

This is so unexpected

it just happened one day 

and now I feel like flying, and crying, throwing up

my insides all messed up

but I can't keep from rhyming, and smiling, thinking

of you all day. 

I can't believe this happened

I thought my walls stood tall 

but since I saw you laughing

I couldn't help but fall. 

You ask about my family

you stare into my eyes

I act like you annoy me

but there's no other place that I would rather spend my time..

-

When you speak,

I don't wanna hear anything else 

When you laugh, 

there is

no greater sound

When we touch,

my heart

beats so loud

I don't even know your middle name

where you're going

or from where you came

but no matter how hard I try,

I can't put out this flame.
