TANGLED IN YOU
Every time you appear in my mind
I can’t breathe the same
Your laugh steals the air from my chest
Your eyes—God, your eyes—
they chase me even when I try to hide
I find you everywhere,
in the corners of a street, in a song
I don’t want to hear
Every shadow whispers your name
Every thought drags me back to you
I try to look nothing, and yet feel you
Your presence gnaws at the edge of my sanity
I want to tell you, show you
but I freeze—
caught between fear and desire
And still, I can’t stop
I replay your face in my mind
I imagine your hand brushing mine
I imagine what it would be like
if you knew
I’m yours in a thousand silent ways
Even if you never see
then I’ll never speak
I am tangled in you
and I don’t want to be free
