It's not Love (poem), page 1

It's not Love

When you come close I get weak knees,
My body heats up to a thousand degrees,
My mind tries to think of something to say,
But nothing comes out, so I just walk away.

My heart starts to jump right out of my chest,
Palms start to sweat from the emotional stress.
But before I can figure out what I wanna say,
I decide that it's smarter to just walk away.

My skin starts to tingle, hair stands on its end,
Calm on the outside, a fierce mess deep within.
My head starts to spin like I'm gonna pass out,
I decide to avoid you, take a different route.

Maybe these are just symptoms I'm showing,
Maybe I caught something without even knowing.
Maybe this has nothing to do with you and me,
And I'm making more out of this then I should be.

All I know is I can't stand the distress,
Of knowing you make me an emotional mess.
It's not something I'm used to dealing with,
And I don't really know how to handle this.

So, I will continue avoidance as long as I can,
Bury my head in the cold, lonely sand,
Until I understand what's happening to me,
I know it's not love, it just couldn't be....

thanks,
