I am a writer
I am a poet
I honestly love you
So why don't I show it?
The fear of rejection
or the distance between us?
No, it's knowing my feelings
can't, won't and will never be returned.
The pain that my love for you brings
can only be described
as someone slowly tearing out my heart
and feeling nothing as they unknowingly do it.
THe bittersweet agony that every word you say brings me
pushed me closer to insanity
Though the care that you show,
keeps me at bay.
No one can grasp this
until they've been through it;
The agony of unreturned love.
*****
Every word about her,
brings a tear to my eye.
Every thoughtful word,
a smile to my face.
Every compliment,
a blush to my cheeks.
Every conversation,
brings a nagging feeling to me.
I want so desperately to tell you
and have you say it back.
But, knowing that will never happen,
darkens my day greatly.
I long only to hear your voice.
I yearn only for your touch.
I wish only that you would feel the same.
I hope only for my dreams to come true.
Every day without you,
make me feel unbareably blue.
My soul aches for this pain to be lifted.
To finally be rewarded with a long wanted prize...
You're heart...
