Why is it i still love you?
Why do i act like i'm only a friend
Inside i want to say that's true
But it's with you my life i'm to spend
I'm hiding behind a mask
Because i can't get over you
So i put myself to the task
Of trying to forget you
I feel worthless, insane and consummately inane. Because i wont ever tell you.
Because i wont let my brain, thoughts of you entertain.
I'm losing control of my emotions
I know you more than anyone
But you don't see my hidden devotion
Because after causing you trouble i'm done
i want your happiness to abound
Because i love you more than you know
I just want to hear the sound
Of all your happy moments grow
So i'm facing myself
And putting my love aside
So i don't feel all alone
I just can't seem to abide
With my own feelings
And this strange animosity
Throwing me against the ceiling
Through my own curiosity
Because i love you
But for you it's not there
Not a thing to do
Except act debonaire.
You love someone that Doesn't love you back. You don't see me because he blinds you. Love is the only thing i lack. But if you're happy, i can be through.
Struggling as much as i do
You have always been there to help me through
And even in my eyes you cannot see
I just want your happiness to Be.
I'm sorry i'm inadequate.
My experience illiterate
But please be considerate
Be my friend. So i don't quit.
I also find myself in this
I also find myself in this boat....it's a hard to place to be my friend, but we'll find ourselves and be ok. :) well done.
Thank you!
It was a while ago that I wrote it. I'm almost thinking about writing a follow-up poem.
