Hurt by Hope

Poems of Catharsis (Part 1. Poem 1)

I wish so badly to shout to the world that I like you
That I want to be with you
That I want to hold your hand
And be held by you.

I wish it so badly,
To tell the world my feelings are real.
That they are alive and kicking,
Ready to take on whatever…
Hurt

Hurt…is what I would be,
If I were to tell the world how I felt.
Hurt…is what I would be,
If even a single soul knew
My feelings…

My feelings…are to remain a secret.
Why?
Because I fear getting
Hurt…

Hurt…by my own feelings.
Hurt…by hope.

Yeah, nice, and it's good the way it is.
But hoping is can't be avoided.

Talking bout real and honest and heartfelt..you have it in spades with this. I can relate to how you are feeling, caged from what you desire and I would be a happy dude if anyone ever wrote such heart rending longing words for me. Dig it.
