PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My heart flutters in my chest,
butterflies taking wing.
He seems so much like myself,
yet different in so many ways.
I wonder what it would be like
To hug him, to touch him,
to feel his arms around me.
His eyes draw me in
like a moth drawn to flame.
It could never happen
and yet... there is a part of me
that wishes it could.
What is it that makes me smile
whenever I talk to him?
It's almost as though I'm falling...
No, I won't say those words.
Flying, tumbling through emotions
I had long thought forgotten.
My mind filled with thoughts of him.
It is impossible, and yet so true.
Too shy to let my feelings
be shown to anyone else.
I will lock them away
behind the steel bars
that protect my heart.
I am content to sit here,
wondering what might be.
Here is safer, no pain, no sorrow.
I will daydream all day,
the wings of my spirit soaring high.
Lost in the bright hope,
that soothes a heart
that's been shattered and destroyed.
