Desire

Resting beneath the surface,

longing to break the calm,

the desire grows stronger.

It can't stand to be stifled any longer.

Let me out!

Let me out!

My desire for you screams to be let free.

It screams for me to grab you,

To put my lips on yours,

To taste your sweetness.

This monster inside squeezes the air out of me-

everytime I see you, and I can't speak.

My heart aches at the thought that I will never have you!

I need the courage to tell you;

I love you.

I need you.

I want you.

Why do I feign friendship?

The truth will set me free.

Right?

What will be when this beast gets free?

What will my desire find?

Rejection?

Affection?

Scary as it may be,

It is time to see

This poem is good, I enjoyed some of the more repetitive aspects and the inner thoughts. Great job.
