You've made me write sappy love poems
That I would never have written
Otherwise
I wonder at your beauty
And the secrets you hold deep
Inside
It's all a mystery to me
The person you truly
Are
I think I know you
I thought I knew
You
But you always turn around
To surprise
Me
As I reach out to touch you
And your beautiful
Face
You pull away from me
To hide in your little
Box
Where no one can touch you
And no one can do you
Harm
So you run away from me
And it breaks my
Heart
Because I just want to help you
And I just want to
Love you.

I have just read through several of your poems and I have to say that you are exceptionally talented! Your poetry is honest and beautiful. This one touched me a great deal with its saddness. Some people live in fear of love, some people seek it out. Keep seeking love, it is what makes this world go around. Once again keep writing!
