it is much easier to love love than it is to love a lover.

By i tremble

I need you.
I don't want to,
but I do.

Sometimes I pretend
that I’m the blood
that swims through
your veins
just so I can feel
close to you.

I pretend that
I’m your heart
(that pulsing organ of emotion),
the main thing that
keeps you alive.

Love me.

it's that horrible catch-22.. your instincts say you want them, but your head says you shouldn't. you so desperately want to be close enough to be the reason their heart beats.. incredibly painful.
