Dear Bella...

A Confession

On that cracked old bench
we sat down our thoughts.
My ears to your voice,
my eyes on you locked.

 

Oh dear Bella,
my senses you've filled;
your memory leaks out,
on my heart is spilled.

 

To know it had been
on you all this time,
this secret I'll keep
with my lovesick mind.

 

I know I'm too late.
Another has won
this race I've so lost.
I've been well outdone.

This face, all ragged
and pimple-stricken;
undeserving of
such fine a woman.

So fret not dear Bella,
for my heart will survive.
However small,
its pieces I will find.

 

And mend it back
to what it was before;
to before I fell victim,
to your magical lure.

 

Goodbye dear Bella,
I'll leave you this letter
to where it began
where no more it matters.

 

A weight was hanged upon my heart;
pushing, forcing down its thrust
waiting to snap, to break it apart

 

I guess that's why it's called a crush.

Author's Note

So this is my first real 'Love' poem. Let me know what you think!

This was really sweet. Having a crush on someone sometimes can be painful because if you never act upon instinct you will never achieve to get their attention or love.

"And I know too well
to indulge my imagination;
for this silly, little feeling
is just mere infatuation."

Nice touch. This might be your first love poem but you nailed it! :)

I love love love the rhyme!

"So fret not dear Bella,
for my heart will survive
However small,
it's pieces I will find."

So much imagery in so little of words. Beautiful. (:
