best_hug_ever daf It all made sense once you felt my pounding heart It fell into place and a lightbulb appeared where a cuckoo once flew there was a reason there once you felt my screaming heart. All that common sense defense was cruelty once you felt my cornered heart slamming against these ribs I heard a rumor once that foundation psychology never goes away mine's a curse a frightened spirit beset by smirking demons with shallow intentions desperate to escape fully prepared to watch the rest of me drop if just to leave this moment without withering in it and then you felt my tortured heart. When you stopped yelling back and came to me reached out and held me there then with a singular look of honest astonishment exclaimed "Oh my God! Your heart! It's beating so fast." you can't possibly know what it meant to have someone else meet my childhood face to face the way I have to every day. You were the first to ever notice that I'm being eaten alive on the inside by a primal, fight or flight response. You were also the first one to respond, by adapting to help me not deal with it as much. I'm so grateful. Thank you. I never knew how to tell anyone what was going on, except to tell them to shut up and leave me alone. 211011 what's it to you? who go blather from
