YOU
Your presence hangs unchanged, a constant and familiar sigh, The same captivating beauty that makes my spirit cry.
Words sputter and die on my tongue, a jumbled, awkward plea, For I sense you near, yet you’re a love unseen, tragically.
Your smile, a haunting echo in the chambers of my mind, A cruel reminder of the touch I so desperately find.
My voice, a prisoner trapped within this lonely, silent cage, While your heartbeat, a phantom pulse on life’s deserted stage.
The warmth of your being, a memory that lingers like a ghost, A constant ache that whispers of a love that’s been dearly lost.
But hope, a fragile ember, flickers in the inky night, A fervent plea that someday, these shadows will take flight.
The day I can finally speak, my heart laid bare and true, The day I can hold you close, the real me unveiled to you.
That day, my love, my unspoken feelings will take flight, And with trembling hands, I’ll show you the depths of my burning light.
On that day, I will show you my true self, and share my feelings...with you, that I...
Love poetry always holds a special place in my heart. Beautiful.
