Words transfer like codes

Lost in translation

What I said

Lost within your head

Making my priorities

Just your option

 

Thoughts shift like gears

Leading to the next 

The next 

The next

Ending at the inevitable 

Somewhere I've been

Made accustomed to

 

Fears grow like egos

Love expands what 

Was already fracturing 

 

I lost myself 

In finding you

Making it easy to ignore 

The feeling you make in

The pit of my stomach.

Sometimes butterflies

Are hornets.

 

Love lost in translation,

Identity lost in the motions.
