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

Author's Note

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.

This is not silly at all! A beautiful poetic flow that told the story of a young heart in love and wanting to show the other heart the capacity in which it can care. It is a difficult thing to care so deeply about someone and not know if the reciprocate those feelings as well. It definitely can torment the soul if the question remains unanswered. This was a beautiful piece Carolann!

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you so much. :)

[Emily Feret]

Relatable.

Amazing.

Trying to protect yourself from pain maybe. I don't know. Sometimes as hard as you fight it, love wins!

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you so much.

:) not silly, amazing.. :) reading this makes me pick myself up even though i've been broken down. You always offer your readers protection making sure they learn from your experiences, satisfaction through your messages and affection. Angelic, thank you.

I enjoyed the honest simplicity of this poem.
I didn't find it all "silly." Like crushes, both large and small, they are very real and the feelings are, also.

[Carolann Dowsett]
