Shaking, trembling, mind floating, heart racing <br />Sharp, short breaths, dull ache in my chest <br />Sweaty palms, this needs to stop! ! <br /> I need to rest <br />Seconds feels like minutes, minutes like hours, hours like days, days like months, and months like a whole year <br />A lifetime since I started wanting, needing, loving you <br />When I am with you I am unsettled <br />When I am away from you I am unsettled <br />Thoughts of having you, I am unsettled <br />Thought of losing you, I am unsettled <br />Shaking, trembling, mind floating, heart racing <br />Sharp, short breaths, dull ache in my chest <br />Sweaty palms, this needs to stop! ! <br /> I need to rest <br />If I keep this up, won’t my entire vessel burst? <br />If I keep this up, won’t I die, ..? my body, my heart give way <br />In this state, will I forever stay? <br />Shaking, trembling, mind floating, heart racing <br />Sharp, short breaths, dull ache in my chest <br />Sweaty palms, this needs to stop! ! <br /> I need to rest. <br />Do I? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?<br /><br />Joy Lovelet Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unsettled-8/
