My Center Of Gravity Poem by Edwina Reizer

My center of gravity’s not quite right.
I’m wobbly in my knees.
I seem to have lost my stability
Like a ship on stormy seas.

I’m holding tight with both my hands.
This feeling’s new to me.
How can I get myself together?
What can this feeling be?

I was fine ‘till you looked at me,
Looked into my eyes.
I felt my body start to quiver
Like the flutter of butterflies.

My stomach was jumping silently
And my head started to reel.
Is this what your look has created?
Is this how it made me feel?

One look from you into my eyes
Is what I have to blame.
I’ve lost my center of gravity
And I’ll never be the same.
