Feelings Unheard

You feel it but you can’t say it.

Ink bleeding thru the paper
Letters by the hundred
A thousand words a minute
The inspiration is bountiful
Flooded w/ thoughts
You are the source material
Like the North Star
You are my guiding light
Speaking of you
Poetry runs off my lips
A vivid tongue
Spitting a pool of
Heart felt confessions
My mind creates
Lovesick fables
Hopeful fantasies
Of love on sight
I lost count
On how many times
We’ve met now
When I speak on you
My words carry weight
The pressure of
Long suppressed feelings
Jubilation & Elation
At the forefront
Heavy emotions I could
Barely function under
Out of breath at the sight of you
Grasping at air
Attempting to fill my lungs
Just to say a simple confession
Nervous to speak
In fear of possible consequences
I don’t think it’s the right time
I’m not sure it’ll ever be
You tell me then
When you’re ready to know
That I love you...

The piece is strong, but the flow isn't that swift. Maybe if you divided it into different stanzas and refrain from using shorthand like w/ . Overall, i like it. Thanks for sharing
