This is a poem that was published in my college literary magazine Vox Fall 2012 edition.
Something foreign from what I knew.
Conflicting feelings could run so close,
merge into each other.

A hand around my heart
that squeezes it tight. Holds
it’s firm grip. But I can’t
say no. Still I know

I should go. Turn
and leave this behind. The
hand squeezes my heart
again and I know I’ll

stay. Stay right here
in these feelings
I know I should shed.
But that I can’t flip
the switch on.
