Part I

This poem is about a time in my life when I met someone and experienced feelings I’d never had before.

The sun on my back
I draw a breath in
Felt like your touch
So tingly, my skin
Something takes over
And I can't understand
I love someone else
But in my dreams, I take your hand
A crooked smile
A slippery slope
A dance with you
Is like being bound by rope
Entrancing, mesmerizing... you stole something from me
You skate around
Can't touch the ground
You're special, it's true
I hate this
How I feel about you
It would never work
You compliment me, I smirk
Honestly, you don't stand a chance
Yet somehow, unintentionally, I still feel romanced
It's the music
It's the guitar
It's anything but this
Because my soul is taken and can never be yours
It's locked behind buildings, behind walls, behind doors
I just want to stop
These fruitless thoughts of you
I'm anxious, I'm nervous I care too much, too
And when you say my name
I kind of skip a beat
Please, you can't be here
I thought I was already complete
