Limerence in a Nutshell
Scared as hell If you can’t tell I feel like I’m trapped underneath this goddamn spell
Author's note: I wrote this poem a long time ago when I was experiencing limerence, an obsession for someone I caught during a low point in my life.
Scared as hell
If you can’t tell
I feel like I’m trapped underneath this goddamn spell
A nervousness that binds
My arms to my sides
While the thoughts run wild inside my mind
Acting like a fool
But my words are true
I think the time right now is quite cruel
Miles away, I can feel the stress
Not in the mood to impress
Doesn’t help that this life is quite complex
I’ve seen hints of life
Instead of signs of strife
You seem to find me too bothersome, so I give you the time
Alone with yourself
I live my life by myself
Unrequited and uncertain, these feelings aren’t much help
If I tell you
That you’re my muse
This ticking time bomb might just defuse
