Poems.

Us.

I've never understood my feelings.

Mainly, because I'm scared of them.

Especially now,

I'm scared of our similarities

I'm scared of our differences

I'm scared of our laughter

I'm scared of our communication

I'm scared of our eye contact.

When we catch each other's eyes. . .

We don't have to talk,

To explain how we're feeling.

Our eyes say it all.

Deep down,

I feel something.

Even if I try to deny it,

I can't.

Even if you feel the same,

There could never be a "we"

Only "you"

And "I"

Separated by a barrier,

That tears me apart.

Little by little.

So now,

I avoid your eyes,

I want to forget these feelings.

I want to forget you.

Your voice,

Your laughter,

Your rhythms that you'd hum,

Your eye contact.

For if I were to meet your eyes again. .

I would cave.

I wouldn't be able to deny,

These feelings I feel.

Maybe, someday

With our barrier or not

I'll be able to confess this to you.

And when I do,

I'll walk away.

And little by little,

No matter how much it'll break me down.

I'll move on,

And forget these feelings I feel for you.

These feelings that I'm scared of,

For if you were to ask me.

My lips would say anything else,

But you'd find the truth in my eyes.
