MAGNETISM (09/18/2021) back But it's funny for me to know That I would have otherwise never felt So close to humanity Until I was forced to be alone Magnetic pressure in my chest Causes palpitations in my heart And I could never tell you how I sleep better Pretending you were someone else And how beautiful that person was, And how gently I was treated, And how much I cherished you, And the weight of your body laying on mine, Remembering a warmth I never felt There's so much I would do for you, I forget to ask for anything in return, But I couldn't know what you want the most Until I know who you are Things I never imagined to exist as a child, I believed I was exempt From the crashing waves of emotion, I never believed I would feel What I now feel every day Magnetic pressure in my chest Causes a sickness in my stomach And I will never tell you how I sleep better Pretending I have it all right now And how beautiful everything is, And how safe I must be, And how much I've achieved, And my pride in the face of society Remembering a security I never felt |
