Emerald

I feel
Off-beat and nervous
The strobe lights are shaking bright
My lungs are clawing
For air I can’t seem to find
Everyone else moves in time
My breath wavers
My eyes avert from
A gaze that mirrors mine
And then the voices fade
And all that’s left is music to play
And then you grab me
And pull me on the floor
You spin me around and
I start to ignore
The thoughts I’ve been thinking
Of low self-worth
'Cause in your arms I can see
You’ve only been seeing me
Heedlessly singing
Along to all of the words
A crowd starts forming
I’m ignorant to all the stares
It’s as if no one is there
My thoughts muddle
My only care is
The person I’m right beside
And then the voices fade
And all that’s left is music to play
And then you grab me
And pull me on the floor
You spin me around and
I start to ignore
The thoughts I’ve been thinking
Of low self-worth
'Cause in your arms I can see
You’ve only been seeing me
And then the voices fade
And I’ve breached the emerald haze
And then you grab me
And pull me on the floor
You spin me around and
I start to realize
The dreams I’ve been seeking
'Bout you and I
'Cause in your arms I can see
You’ve only been seeing me
You’ve only been seeing ---
