Painfully Shy

How can I say I love you, when you don’t even

know I exist, I’m so painfully shy each time I try

I tremble and desist.

 

Your elegance is that of graceful swan, your

touch is that of a lacey chiffon, the closer I get

the farther away you seem, that’s when I lose

all self esteem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why would you want someone like me, who can’t

find the courage to make you see, see that I love

you for who you are, the most beautiful woman

I’m silent and subpar.

 

All I have to offer is my eternal devotion, if given

the chance of this preconceived notion. I would

love you, hold you till all the stars fall from the

sky, I guess we’ll never know, I’m bewildered and

beleaguered, oh so painfully shy…

I think most of us have moments like this but you will never know if you don't try. I had a horrible experience last year and learned just how quickly my life could have been taken away from me and have made it perfectly clear to the person I love that I love them and will till the end of time. We are currently on really good complicated friends but distance in a huge factor. I say this poem has great flow and lets the reader know just how hard it is of the narrator to see this person and not be able to express those feelings. This poem is done with all emotions out on the table. Just a suggestion. Give the poem to the person it belongs too. I enjoyed reading this.

Having just read your latest post, I'm just so relieved to read this .. it couldn't be moredifferent, more opposite.

What a wonderful piece of writing this is; there's a soft sweet loving here, so rare in many men's writing .. ' your touch is that of a lacey chiffon' - that's such resonant phrase. Shy or not, it couldn't say more..

Such a lovely poem. God I wish (again ?! :) someone would write this for me. Maybe someone does but will never tell ? It is nice to believe so :)
I am also alot like this. It makes me think we must be so many dreaming in our heads, looking alike, but so afraid to come closer to one another...
Nice job :)
