PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

sensing a vacancy

my eyes are empty,

looking for you.

thinking, that you'll find your own way to me

hoping, i wont be needing, to do any leading,

lest you see my intentions,

and get cold feet.

i fear you see my intensity, burning within,

passion

a fire like your own,

i hope,

but connecting can be, the hardest step ever

worth taking.

believe me, i don't know if i'm worth it

for you to go risking, your heart on me,

i'm someone,

just trying to understand,

the depth of your person.

and it's easy to be caught.

against yourself

or in my web, nonetheless,

tangled is what you get.

i see hazel eyes, and a pretty head,

my smile means nothing

unless you're looking,

so permit me to raise your face to mine, by the chin,

and stare into you,

with words unspoken.

perhaps you'll know then,

that i find you compelling,

and i will listen to every breath you breathe,

if only you let me.

i've known misunderstandings

about love, to pull and tatter,

i have my second thoughts,

that never seem to matter,

i know the pain of rejection,

i know that i can take it.

and i don't intend to make you any less,

if you give in and take my hand.

whether you can believe truly,

you are of more importance to your reflection,

than anyone like me,

i want to help you see.

it's important to be clear,

i know what i feel, and what you hear,

are not the same thing,

just don't be afraid to talk to me.

okay?
