I'm standing here until you make me move..
..Just hanging by a moment here with you.
Didn't talk to Della much. Her boyfriend comes home and wants to talk to her around five minutes after I call. Go figure. Didn't get to talk to Joe, either. So, sniff people, many sniffs. In fact, enough to drive me to artistic intervention. What can I say.. I miss him.
I guess you can call this a freeform poem, or if you want to be picky it is basically in a 'letter to the editor' form. So, that's what I titled it. Pretty clear message to perceive.. and again, a softer side is gonna show so suck it up. Like I said once before, I'm human..
Jyyaah..
Letter to the Editor
There are so many things I want to tell you, but could never bring myself to say.
One could call me shy, but the truth is I'm scared of what you'd think.
I long to explain to you what I feel inside, how much I herald your name.
Would it be wrong to love you, when you originally wanted me to?
Why does it seem you've stopped trying? Do you believe you've won, or are you scared because you have?
My eye had refused to wander, but look at what you've done.
When you found me I was running away. I couldn't stand the truth of the matter at hand.
Something so near to me, something I thought could never break shattered before my eyes.
The problem was, I didn't have a say.
Then I was filled with a false prayer from lips who tried to protect me from myself.
That prayer strung me from a high wire until that fated day.
I couldn't stand to be away from you after.
You made me laugh when the others made me cry.
They where in love, so what could I care? They could never know how I felt.
They'd have what they prayed for. It was as apparent as the sun rising every day.
I didn't have things so simple. I had to believe in a lost cause.
Then there was you. You weren't tied down and restrained.
You where someone I could relate to without having to hear of love from your lips.
That is, except when it was directed towards me.
If anyone could charm a serpent, it would be you.
If you had commanded me to dance, I would've rose to the occasion.
You had me utterly mesmerized.
I was mortified.
Why, me, I had promised my heart to a man who refused to have it.
My priorities weren't straight, neither was my mind.
Slowly and swiftly I began to deny things.
How could I let them know that after all I had put all through, I had fallen for of all, you?
They knew it from the start. They knew the secret I hid.
Maybe it's the way I spoke your name. I guess I must be apparent.
Finally I couldn't take it anymore. The feelings that had been tried so hard collapsed.
I admitted to you what I felt, though you believed them unreal.
I think you where scared, skeptical. If only you knew what I'd been through.
How to admit that, would be admitting a chunk of my life had been a lie.
That I had let myself drop my guard and feel what I had wished to.
Big mistake.
You aren't like you where before. A little distant, a little lax in freedom.
We both stutter over our words, if we ever find the words to say.
I don't know what to do, I grasp the I love you that you gave me.
If what they say is true, you feel just like I do.
But are you this afraid? Can you fathom what burns inside me?
And how it scorches my skin when I falter?
I think you felt it before. Do you feel it now?
My heart is aching, my eyes are strained, and my body is tired.
I've attempted to hide how I feel. I'm not what I seem.
I can lie and seduce you inward until you know.
I can tell the truth and make you not believe it now.
Truth to lie, good to wrong, It doesn't matter in this case.
I've felt enough of this war within myself. And I've had it.
No more hiding, no more stuttering, no more doubts or curiosities.
By God I swear my heart to you and all that goes along with it.
You taught me to love you. Now teach me what no one else can.
Teach me that you feel the same way.
Or tell me how to make you blush at my name.
We played your little hide and seek game.
You caught me when you could.
well guess what?
I found you, now I'm not letting you get away.
Ready? Set..
I love you
