Love

Can You See It In My Eyes?

You don't know how I'm feeling.

I have yet to vocalize

Desire deep inside me.

Can you see it in my eyes?

I tremble when I'm near you

Heat travels up my thighs

and I want you with an urgency

That I just can't describe.

Dare I reach out to touch you?

Do you think you'd realize

How much I want and need you?

Can you see it in my eyes?

I long to say, "I love you,"

But am scared of your reply.

Terrified like a child

I've become paralyzed.

The camouflaged emotions

Lead to pain and silent cries.

And yet I just can't tell you.

Don't you see it in my eyes?

Confessing through this poem

My dilemma summarized.

The feeling's quite cathartic,

But will lead to my demise.
