Face the Music

Paralyzingly sweet and sad,

I turn my head from the inevitable.

Rip my heart

Out of my chest

And hold it in your hand.

My heart beat’s idle spastic rhythm

Parallels itself with your footsteps

As you approach me

I wish to reach out to you.

But yet I turn away,

Too scared to face the music

The moment where I confess all to you

I cringe away from the possibilities

Infinite yet fathomless
