But in my mind the things I hide will be the death of me,
unless I speak of what's inside,
the words to set me free.
Every glance you send my way,
filled with shame I turn away.
Holding back these words unspoken
resting on my tongue,
desperately wanting you to know that
you're the only one.
I love you more than words can say
but all I do is pull away.
I see your face and long for you
to mend this heart that's torn in two.
Day to day my courage found,
I want to scream I love you loud.
Deep inside my cluttered brain,
no thought or phrase will be the same.
My heart says yes, my mind says no,
torn between a friend and foe.
How could feelings innocently true,
make me fall so hard for you?
M.B.
