Exposure: A Rush of Words

The earth trembles beneath your feet
As you travel down another busy street
You open up the veins and peel back the skin
Only to have a rush of words spill out again
She stole your heart and you don’t want it back
Sometimes losing sight of a train on the track
Usually you bury all of those deep feelings
Because really, you’re not use to all of this
The untamed innocence behind her lips
But you have a sense that you’re dreaming.
