Stuck

Inspired by How it Felt When I Was in Love 

‪A single snow flake is the start of an avalanche ‬

‪It’s quite hard to understand ‬

‪How minimal effort can cause maximum chaos‬

‪The same can happen to that heart of yours ‬

‪It starts with a tingle ‬

‪Words flow on your tongue, it’s lingual‬

‪Blood pumps through veins‬

‪The rain falls down again‬

‪There’s noise that rings throughout your ears‬

‪Light radiates and displays your fears‬

‪You can’t run‬

‪Stuck like you’ve been held up by a gun‬

‪Something tells you to move your feet‬

‪You must fleet‬

‪These feelings fail to seize‬

‪There’s no reprieve‬

‪Even with your best sneakers on‬

‪You’ve lost the race, you haven’t won‬

‪There’s no sense of motion ‬

‪Just ongoing commotion‬

‪Living within your mind‬

‪You think it’ll subside with time

Earth spins but you stand still‬

‪You won’t abandon the thrill ‬

‪You miss the adrenaline you get from being on the move‬

‪You want to dance, you want to groove‬

‪There’s a force tying you down‬

‪Gravity works against you so you frown‬

‪The birds look down on you and laugh ‬

‪They see you’ve been victimized by love‬

‪Your wings have been clipped for another ‬

‪You’ve been confined to the arms of a lover‬

‪Close your eyes, close your eyes ‬

‪It’ll be much harder to stay goodbye‬

‪Stop attempting to run away‬

‪Live in the moment, enjoy the day‬

‪You’ll learn to walk when the time arrives‬

‪The heavens will hear your cries‬
