Metaphor #97: My Nerves Are Shot
Sometimes
When I think about you
It feels like my legs get hot
I don’t know what that means
I’ve never felt that way
It’s like my legs fell asleep
While soaking in a hot tub
I don’t even know
If it’s a metaphor for anything
But I keep thinking about you
And I relish in the warmth
I pretend I do it
To pinpoint
What i feel
But the longer my feet burn,
The harder it is to bite back
A smirk
