Switch off the thoughts

You are the magic of my life
Your smile can reach my heart
It brings wonders you cannot see
Then why do you ignore my existence?

I can’t get you off my mind
I can’t put your memories out
I can’t take you from my soul
Your thoughts are piercing through my being
How do you switch off the thoughts?

I’m struck, stuck, wanting to continue
How do you live without any pain?

Can you not see my persistence?
How do you live without care or worry?
How do you smile without thought or hurry?

You burn me with your adorable eyes
You bring out the best in everything I do
You rip me apart with your ignorance
You hurt me by being indifferent

How can you stay or stray away from me?
How can you stop loving when I’m still breathing?
Why is that I feel this way?

I don’t want it to stop, I never want this feeling to go away
In the depths of my despair is a happiness so profound
Murky waters, raging currents, vicious rapids
All branching from the delta of this throbbing heart

Do you want it to end?
Will I finish this journey lonely,
Constantly, without switching off your thoughts?
