Unrequited {Love Poems}

Scared

Shaking in silence, I walk out the door.

I just don't want to know anymore.

What just happened? And why did I know?

Something still keeps me from telling you so.

Telling you anything would be hard to bear.

I stay to the side, and I watch you from there.

Creepy, I know, how I watch every step.

Creepy how I know what's coming next.

I stare at each stair of my broken treehouse.

I tremble away like a fidgety mouse.

Sitting on my swing I go higher and higher,

My ipod in hand and attached to a wire.

I sing all the love songs that I know by heart.

You have your own play list; I sing every part.

What happened in my daydream has not happened yet.

If it happens at all, it was an off-chance bet.

I don't think that way would work very well.

You're much too stubborn to fall; I can tell.

I love you anyway, and I'm here if it does.

I'll know what to say when your phone makes that buzz.
