Another Tale of Insignificance

My face grows warm, rearing out of control.
I try to reign it in, but like the others,
It flows free and true.
I’ve never felt this way before.

Suddenly, I can’t speak.
My throat has closed up, the words halted before a breath can be taken.
I choke on my own thoughts, tripping over my syllables as they fall.
Never before have I felt this way.
Lost, confused, completely taken aback.

Patiently. Patiently
Whenever someone speaks his name, I freeze, and wait, wishing for more.
I’m totally gone, my daydreams conquering my subconscious.
When called upon,
I must be withdrawn from my wishes, my silent fantasies.

He appears at my side,
My hand in his own.
I find myself at a loss,
Unable to talk coherently,
I wonder what’s come over me.


Every look, glance, smirk he gives me
Sends me completely off course.
I can’t stop from being scared,
As I find myself powerless, entirely in his will.

He doesn’t know he has me in his grasp,
I’m merely just another one of those girls.
I’ll always just be another discarded image to him.
Another ray beneath the moonlight beams.

it will be perfect if you loose the last verse, it looses the mystery that it had in that verse and it could do without it...the mystery is goooooood.
