Confession and Confusion
Those deep, amber eyes, I could get lost in;
That soft, silver hair, I could sleep in.
You stand before me like an angelic seraph,
But look down on me like I am some lowly devil.
Humanity is horrid;
Immortality is beautiful.
Why don't you whisk me away from this place?
I am so lonely, living in this place.
Why do you only stare at me maliciously,
When I know your heart must want me lusciously?
Why do you keep me here,
Always playing these games?
Why are you so perfect,
And why do I love you?
Why does my heart flutter when you pass me by?
Why does my breath still when you look me in the eye?
Do you see me,
Standing before you?
Am I there to you?
Do I exist?
You've looked the other way so many times;
It's hard to tell what you're feeling.
Have you this same heat,
This same passion,
I have when we see each other?
When will be the day we actually speak?
When will you see me as a woman?
When will we become "more than just friends"?
Tomorrow?
Next week?
Next year?
…
Today.
Whenever you wake up,
And see me for who I am,
I'll be there, waiting for
Your life,
Your love,
Your heart.
