How I Feel 4 You

Do you ask what it is I feel for you

The truth is not an easy affair to explain

My emotions are unselfish and my words ring true

and my passion for you is impossible to feign.





By the contents of your words and unknown thought

I find the desire to try to understand,

What of me it is that you want to have sought

and what deep down it is that you demand





I cannot accurately put in word

What lies deep within my heart

I try but I sound too absurd

and my words frequently fall apart.





Often I keep my cares deep inside

and hide them from external life.

In attempt to guard my heart and pride

and fend off the pain and strife.





What my words mean to you, oh I only wish you knew,

and all your feelings which pertain to me,oh I only wish you'd tell

Hence, I strive to know what it is exactly you want me to do

and whether you actually wish me harm or if you wish me well.

I feel that the artist(for poetry is art)conveys his emotions in a way tht allows one to feel his pain. you can sense the agony in his heart through his words. I literally had a tear drop down my cheek,so affected by his words and his emotion, so vividly brought to light. i wish him continued success with his writings for words are power and this is one capable of a lot.
