full.

My head is so full, I fear it will burst. Every ounce of my memories and thoughts will begin to disappear.

My head is so full, it holds everything about you. The golden colour of your eyes, the dark curls of your hair, the softness of your lips and the small freckles across your blushing cheeks.

My head is so full, I am losing my mind. Reality and fantasy seems the same. I am becoming forgetful, I forgot my favourite colour and the type of coffee I love.

My head is so full, everything is pinning me down. Your opinions and ideas are shoved down my throat, choking me and causing my own opinions and ideas to be pushed out. I only have your choices, your thoughts and you.

My head is so full, your voice is forever echoing throughout my mind. I can hear your mocking and manipulative tone as you begin to fill my head with your controlling words.

My head is so full, I fear it will burst.
