You Do This to Me

I look at you

and my heart just beats, beats, beats...

Beats my soul up so bad, my body's on fire and my veins will explode.

This is what you do to me.

You could grant me the ability to crush mountains

to silence fire

to roar the tides

to calm the winds

With just one glance

You do this to me.

And what am I to do?

To just stand here and take it.

take it all

take all you give me and build it up.

I can create and innovate so much with what I have now,

from you.

You do this to me.

And I do

I build it up

Weeks after weeks of smiles,

laughter,

and affection.

I get high on all you give me.

All this false hope that I can walk off a cliff

but live,

and fly!

But I fall, I implode, and I get crushed,

by you.

This is what you do to me.

It's all still and time moves slowly now...

Every moment to you is a decade through my eyes.

I did it.

I said it.

It was small, to me

but it must've hurt you.

And now I'm falling off this high,

I reach the end and you crush me.

"I'm done", I hear

You do this to me

with just one look.

A sigh, I hear.

You grasp my chin up possessively,

n look down through me and the salty moisture on my face

"I'm not done with you yet, love," you smile, self-righteously.

I levitate

Higher n higher

to our cloud nine reality.

Your smile relives me

your forgiveness brightens my face

your affection surprises my senses

your love melts my remorseful being.

I'm fine, okay, better, good, great, perfectly yours.

I'm happy again

I'm happy

Am I happy again?

Am I happy...?

Am I happy being so high up?

...with you?

I begin to fear heights.

This is what you do to me.
