The Stirrings of Unease

THE 1ST STIRRINGS OF UNEASE
weight of worry
heavy on your shoulders
the ground heavy
full of your worries
the worst hasnt come yet

and whenever you look at that person
can you trace the slightest flutter
of wings in your stomach?

THE 2ND STIRRINGS OF UNEASE
the tension in you
unreleased, pressurised
built up in your body, your core
eating you up

when you look at him
you search for hidden feelings
suddenly, its just nervousness

THE 3RD STIRRINGS OF UNEASE
you look down at your feet
the weight of the world on you

the questions come
but both of you cant face the truth
you lie, and the lie comes out sincerely:

"I still love you"

and it feels wrong

THE FOURTH STIRRINGS OF UNEASE
your mind goes blank
now you just say empty words
hollow sounding meaningless phrases
which once you meant it
with all your heart

awkwardness sets in
the unease builds up
questions arent made for these moments

THE FIFTH STIRRINGS OF UNEASE
your heart sounds hollow
and finally reality sets in
lost in a sea of shadows
and facing worst fears

will "I love you" work now?

THE SIXTH
the break comes

and it goes

and now you lie calmly
but still
the stirrings of unease
stir inside you

your heart is a silent shadow
wandering through the dark and misty hallways
of your lost soul
wandering through this... this world

your heart is just a silent shadow
