Following You

By Ambermist17

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Awkward yet so powerful the uncertainty in my heart at moments beautiful and yet terrible a dark secret hidden yet out there for all to see they all know how I feel and I can't lie, but I can't tell the truth I follow you with my eyes, in my mind always a step away you turn and look make my heart stop and dance away with a smile you toy with me give me hope and take it away you're so cruel but I can't stop wanting you a thoughtless word, a lingering glance shatters my world you know what you do to me and yet you don't care You swim in my misery and enjoy your power my traitorous heart--my life & my death yearns for you still when will I realize it could never be it will never happen you move toward me the tension escalates and you turn me down again I won't ask anymore I've been more bold with you than anyone else and you turn me away I know where I stand I'm playing the fool in your kingdom give me the strength to turn my heart Written September 25th, 2001 © on Sep 25 2001 02:25 PM PST   0 • 8
