My Heart Yearns For You

I press my hands against my ears,

 in hopes that your voice will disappear

It used to be the background,

since when did it become lead?

I suppress my pent-up tears

  in hopes that they'll drain, not because of you.

I know you don't feel like I do,

 and I promised myself I wouldn't get this way

  but here I am

     not being able to breathe until I hear from you,

     my heart racing when I just think of you,

     my mind helplessly wondering, "What if."

I'm distracted from everything I do,

I can't tune my mind in.

My heart yearns for you.
