This Heart of Mine

The first poem I wrote about my first experience in falling in love. I wrote it for a nationwide contest a year ago.

This heart of mine

Saw only the wrong light

Forgot to lighten

The rest of the room

And suddenly

The lights are opened

I see this dream

He comes to me

He torments me

Visits me in my sleep

I long for his presence

When I am awake

He hides in me

My thoughts are disturbed

He makes me crazy

It's all in my mind

I must be strong

And carry on

It's just a dream

But he feels so real

I can't forget this dream...
