Emotion is chaos

To know that I am so close to you
Yet I probably don't even cross your mind,
Though somehow, an encounter from you,
Or even a text
Can send a swarm of lokus to my heart
Eating away my wall of safety in solitude.
I know it's not love.
I've felt love.
But it's some kind of connection
One that's burrowed it's way
Deep into my skin
Like a tick, hungry for blood.
Yet no amount of chemicals
Or other hazardous way I use
Can get rid of you
I just can't shake you off
My brain is telling me to keep my wits about me
But my heart swoons over the slightest mention of your name
I know I don't need you
But my body and heart crave your affection
Is there any better way
For someone to hit a self destruct button
Than to develop unrequited feelings?
