I Love You

I love you
that's all I can say
I don't know why
life has turned out this way

I prefer to feel nothing
to remain numb and at peace
But you have stirred in me feelings
that are demanding release

This battle is mine
I know that's the truth
I fight for freedom from love
from my feelings for you

Yet still my love pours
like an endless stream
From a broken soul
full of shattered dreams

Unbidden and unashamed
desire flows through my heart
Tormenting my mind
breaking walls apart

It was your heart that did it
the kindness I see
The softness of your words
the way you talk to me

The gentle warmth that flows
from your beautiful soul
The empathy you have
for everyone you know

But it was the sound of your voice
that captured me
A Siren call of love
a sweet melody

Your song took me away
to places unseen
Penetrated my heart
flowed through my dreams

Entrapped me in a cocoon
of the sweetest delight
Until I was lost forever
within its endless light

So now here I stand
a girl lost in a dream
Wondering if you
will ever love me

If you will ever know
of the love that I hide
If you will one day see
the truth in my eyes

If we will ever be
more than just friends
Or if this is where my dreams
will come to an end

Just a silly poem about a crush I once had.

The guy must be blind or without sense to let you go, how many guys get poems written in such a beautiful? I guess very few and trust me you are worth for someone amazing so value your self and keep writing because you are gifted my friend for a destiny only few can go. Bravo!

[Carolann Dowsett]

Wow thank you so much. That is very much appreciated.

[Kenneth The Poet]

[Richard Man]

It's good to love a friend, it's great to have a lover as a friend, it's wonderful to feel the unity of the two.

[Carolann Dowsett]

I guess but wouldn't really know.

[Leigh]

I don t think its silly, to get carried away by someone is an exhilarating feeling that is hard to control. I love you too by the way.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Welcome!

I think everyone has felt this way before. I realized that half way through the poem I was making a sad puppy-dog face! Very easy to relate to. I like it.

[Carolann Dowsett]

True love is often mistaken for friendly affection. I still wonder how one can discern the two, often resulting in a painful struggle. The only way to make someone know is to say those 3 simple words at the beginning of the poem. But how can you say them when you are not sure of how you feel, at least you know where your heart lies. So go ahead and say them.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Yes that's true but often a crush is just that and it passes quickly so it's better not to rush into these things. Thank you for the review :)

...simply sweet and loving, =)

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you :)

Nothing silly about it. I'm sure we've all had feelings towards someone you know but timing is never right to declare it. Also to find the confidence and the ability to deal with the aftermath if that person didn't feel the same way about you. Devastating in its own right.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you :)
