Reality Poem by Javier Solis Jr.

Naïve I feel for falling in love with you. Every time I see you my eyes shine with happiness but then it fades away knowing we’re not together. My heartbeat rises every time you pass by and stops completely when you walk away. You’re what my brain can only think of for it tortures me of not being with you. Whenever I hear your name my lungs expand and take a deep breath yet when the truth hits me they clot and I become breathless. Even though I can’t help it I still love you but the problem is that you don’t feel the same for me.
