Away

Folder: 
Blah

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!
