I can smell the fear
Coming off me in waves
All because I saw a face
That called back to someone else
Will it always hurt this much?
Send me running for the hills
Just because I might encounter
A memory I’d best forget
My heart pounds hard with every breath
Trying to escape my chest
To feel the elevation
And not have to endure
The inevitable rememberance
Of what I thought was a part of me
Yet ripped itself away
Calm and focused I try to be
It probably wasn’t even her
But the potential
Weighs heavy on my mind
And I won’t stick around
To find it out
