It Doesn't Take Much


You're poison...

just one thought of the slightest touch

seeps through my skin and flows through my veins

All the way into my brain, jumbling up what's left of my mind

You walk by and my eyes wander

You stand near and when you're gone 

I wish you stayed longer

It's too easy, nerve wrecking, and good

Falling for you should be a crime

An act of insanity

Lock me up and put me in a padded room

Because my love symptoms for you will only grow stronger

Even though I know your absence will only grow longer
