A Deadly Reaction to Her

By Ultimate Mistake

 Butterflies flutter in my stomach with razor wings
I grab my chest as my heart skips beats
Gasping can no longer fill collapsing lungs with air
Ceasing to breathe may happen whenever she's near
One thousand fireworks set off my imagination
One thousand waves crash on the shore of a mystic ocean
She is just inches out of reach
and if I even try to get my hands on her she slips away
Teasing finger tips just like falling sand
I frantically try to hold it in my hand,
but it's just useless!
The mist of pain and melancholy hits my face
Tears fall from my eyes, I curse at the wind!
My heart sprouts wings and flies out of my chest
I watch, in horror, as it flies off into the sunset
Solemn nostalgia...is all thats left

    Reminiscent of Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell, at least for me. Very well done and towers above the usual fare on this subject.

    Hi U.M. the third and next to last lines are exactly what Meatloaf sang about when he crashed his bike and lay dying. This was a big hit about 15 years ago (I'm dating myself) - thanks.
