I wrote this poem in February of 2024.

love ties me up and binds with a rope of shame
slowly I fade away until I’m nothing
I don’t recognize who I am
Friends tell me I’ve changed
I tell them they’re crazy
messages appear in dreams
I’m living a fake life
who am i? who am i? who am i?

I don’t know if it’s reassuring or disquieting to realize that no matter how old we get, a crush and love interest will always feel like an upheaval.
