My whole life is full of grey and dark things.
Nothing gives me any joy.
I do everything the same every day,
Every week,
Every month.
"Same ole"
"Same ole"
Then you appear.
Something new.
Beautiful,
Lovely,
Colorful.
What can I do to force you to love me?
My whole machine breaks down when you're around.
I talk to people for a living and suddenly
I ... am ... dumb.
I am shut up with mixed feelings and emotions.
I can't think
I can't breathe
I can't feel anything around me.
I just stare at you.
Drunk from beauty.
Watching,
Wondering,
Hoping,
Wishing,
Thinking
Someday I will talk to you.
