PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I should’ve known on first sight,

I’d end up craving you,

protesting my feelings—

a hunger strike I never meant to win.

My mind kept going stir-crazy,

not knowing what to do,

so I took a chance,

shot my shot,

figured that’s all I really had.

Maybe you got me—

maybe only if you want.

I promise I offer a lot,

more than words,

more than half-measures.

So I rolled the dice,

not reckless,

just honest.

I could be the one you’ve sought,

or just someone who cared enough to try.

I like when I see you.

I like when I’m near you.

You’re woven into my every thought,

and it’s okay—I don’t mind.

You’re more than I invited,

more than I planned for.

I could see your sweet face every day

and still feel lucky.

I took the chance, rolled the dice,

not because I was fearless—

but because you were worth the risk.

I don’t promise perfection,

only honesty, effort, and heart.

And if you ever wonder

who would choose you first,

who would show up open and real—

it was me.
