There are so many thoughts running through my head constantly about this person. It’s almost like I’ve been stricken with the disease that I have seen strike so many girls from afar. I’ve never felt it before, but now I do. I feel things so intensely that they rarely cohesively make it into spoken word. Hopefully writing this poem helps me sort out these feelings like it’s done for so many other feelings before.
You silly man!
How dare you make me feel this way.
With your oddball quirks and your frankly absurd appreciation for karaoke.
How dare you make me feel this way.
What gives you the right to gaze into my eyes as if heaven’s secrets lie within?
Fun fact? Within these beautiful brown eyes that you can’t seem to pull away from holds pain close.
Pain is a beloved friend who I hold dear to my heart
At least I know, I know he will come – it’s inevitable.
But that’s a fact I refuse to share in fear that you’ll look away.
Since you’re so intrigued by my mystery I’ll confess that
I don’t like the feeling of being out of control
Yet here I am giggling every time you say my name
No one has ever said my name like you do – with purpose and a whimsical curiosity
I’ll confess that
Without stability, I crumble
Yet here I am unaware of the structure on which we stand
So if I cling, please be willing to hold because I’m clinging onto the hope that you’ll love me like they claim to
Like he claims to.
