You asked me why I am shaking.
Because I am unable to sit still with you.
I want to be closer.
So close the only air I breathe
is the air you exhale.
I want the only space I take up
I'm running around and my head starts to spin,
My chest starts to feel like it's closing at its seams
I’ve been shaking lately,
A thumb pitter-pattering on a desk,
Trembling fingers holding paper,
I can feel my heart beat
It beats so slowly now
But it thumps
And it thumps
So loudly
I can feel my hand twitch
I can't control the way it moves
It shakes so softly now
