Poison

Its not often

the times I look at you

and see the love

I have towards you

reflected in your eyes

many a moments

I seem to wear

my heart on my sleeve

and so often

do I feel it

go to you

so I pull

I hold

for your eyes scream no

yet I hear your heart

whisper yes

so tears ink into my flesh

for what is so near

yet so unreachable

should I protect myself

should I raise my arms

and walk away

giving up on whats

not there yet

and that's probably the best option

because that way

maybe I wouldn't have

to face rejection

or loosing you in the end

and so contemplating from afar

will become my choice of poison

"Que hacer?"
