A Voice Unheard - Part II: Poetry

Open Your Eyes

Perhaps you will never see me the way I see you,

perhaps in your heart you really dont want to,

Whatever the case, just remember this still,

I have loved you from the start and always will,

Even though you make me cry out in pain,

My love for you will remain the same,

You see her for her beauty and heart,

Even though I have been there from the start,

But deep down I know that even if you knew,

This isn't a matter you would readily pursue,

For I am way below the standards of this cruelly fickle world,

A dead body; A voice unheard,

The whispers of a truth no one wants to see,

And a reality that none want to believe,

That's me, invisible and small,

But that doesn't change the truth, not at all,

I still have feelings, same as you,

I still want to be loved, just as you do,

Perhaps I am meant to walk this road alone,

And maybe my heart will have to create a home of its own,

None can see me, the way I want to be seen,

And love for me shall ever remain a dream,

Unrealized and imprisoned in my head,

A desire that's better of dead,

Better not to want something you that you know cant be yours

Less painful to not want something more,

But I have never been one to take the easy road,

So my progress anywhere is generally slow,

This like everything else in my life, shall be the same,

And I have only myself to blame,

I want this so bad, that I delude myself; shying away from reality,

Hiding from the truth, refusing to believe it blatantly,

But then again this would be so much easier for me tonight,

If you were the first person in my life to Open Your Eyes.
