I tug at my clothes.
I look at the ground.
My heart's beating faster.
I can't make a sound.
Your voice gives me shivers
But my face feels so hot.
One single word
Ties my stomach in knots.
I'm not worth a glance
But you smile just the same.
You make me feel special
Just saying my name.
The kindness is empty
The smile's a disguise.
There's no real affection
When you look in my eyes.
So why can't I stop caring?
Why am I wasting my time
Pouring my soul into a forced rhyme?
Every time I see you
You send my head spinning
But I'm fighting a battle
I have no chance of winning.

the plan
I made this blog over a year ago, and about five minutes after creating it I was like "Nope, never mind, I don't want to post my crappy poetry here" and promptly forgot about it. Now I'm trying to get back into blogging, and I wanted to tidy up my profile and delete blogs I never write in or revisit-this one being the most obvious-but I can't seem to find any option for deleting blogs in my account settings. So I guess I'll actually start posting poetry here rather than having a random blank blog. I don't actually have anything new right now, but if you weren't in my poetry class my junior year of college or read the stuff I put on Deviantart it'll be new to you! I think what I'll do is go over my existing poems, edit them, and post them here.
