Restless Love Poem by APPHIA GARCIA

My heart is as restless as the sea.
Underwater earthquake-tsunami, rupture inside me.
What can I do to stop my heart from beating so rapidly?

Oh! The anxiety you've caused me.
My heart races and yet my heart stops.
Ironically, no heartbeat means I am happy.
That's how powerfully your love affects me.
A believer in love was never me,
But a sucker for love is what you've made me.

I reminisce every night.
The last day we hung out,
How you touched me,
Steered in my eyes,
I saw love.
I still hear the first words from your mouth,
I still see that smile,
Still remember, our first day out.

I felt something left me.
I think your touch makes my soul flies,
Your lips against mine makes me high.
You must have drugged me with you love
You must have swept me off the ground
You must have brought out the best in me
Because now I believe in love.

My heart is as restless as the sea.
Underwater earthquake-tsunami,
Rupture inside me.
What can I do?
What can I do?
To stop my heart from beating so rapidly?
