Anxious Approval
Stream of Consciousness Love Poem
Sunbeams cut the clouds
Burning knife through butter
Your words to me
I have no strength and I crumble
My composure gone
I’m a mess but it doesn’t matter
A lightning bolt to my heart
The heart I thought would stop beating for someone after so long
It’s unconditional
Unapologetic
In your face
I’ve never felt a click like this
The last click I’d heard was the gun cocking
And when you told me what had happened one night
I felt like locking up
I can’t lie
I felt like tears would break my face and I,
I thought the cycle was repeating
My heart beating in anxiety
I thought “no matter how good I try to be”
I had to step aside and see
What would happen
And that seems for the better
Was this random
That when I see your name my heart skips a beat
That fleeting feelings come crashing back
That even when it seems out of whack you make sense
Each word I’m typing in this poem I’m trying to prove myself
Vying for approval
Cause I never think I’ll be the first candidate
In anything
I haven’t even met you
But I look forward to the time we do
But lately the consistency in my life linked to my smile is one word
You
