speculation and spellcheck.

about a boy. pathetic, i'm fully aware.

and my muscles tighten,
forcing my legs slower
slower
hoping to stop near--

oh, I can't breathe
you aren't looking at me
my lungs empty/
you see I'm here
oh, but they feel so tight
you're talking
spilling out words
to me.

and my heart slows
to a rabbit pace
thump-beat-beat
thump-beat-beat
THUMP

and I want you here
and I want you now
now means now
but you won't
because I don't--

oh, God, I can't
think
I need to think!
but my mind races
figure eights around
around cause
and effect

I don't know what I want.

but my fists clinch
my mouth smiles
I'm looking around
-sharp intake-
this air burns
I need to see you.
