Joy Lovelet Crawford - Unsettled

Shaking, trembling, mind floating, heart racing
Sharp, short breaths, dull ache in my chest
Sweaty palms, this needs to stop! !
I need to rest
Seconds feels like minutes, minutes like hours, hours like days, days like months, and months like a whole year
A lifetime since I started wanting, needing, loving you
When I am with you I am unsettled
When I am away from you I am unsettled
Thoughts of having you, I am unsettled
Thought of losing you, I am unsettled
Shaking, trembling, mind floating, heart racing
Sharp, short breaths, dull ache in my chest
Sweaty palms, this needs to stop! !
I need to rest
If I keep this up, won’t my entire vessel burst?
If I keep this up, won’t I die, ..? my body, my heart give way
In this state, will I forever stay?
Shaking, trembling, mind floating, heart racing
Sharp, short breaths, dull ache in my chest
Sweaty palms, this needs to stop! !
I need to rest.
Do I? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
