His Shadow

By ellie

Oppress the feelings, fake a smile,
I may look okay, but I'm dying inside.
What stupid poem could bring us closer,
I'd recite that poem everyday.
Maybe if I wished upon a star,
But the stars in my world rarely shine.
I'm so alone, pick up the phone,
But the thought of calling you stops my heart.
How do I expect to last a year,
Without you close, without you near.
I can't suppress these emotions,
Such new confusing notions, I'm really lost.
What should I do,
I'm lost without you,
I can't shut these dreams out.
It's the same dream every night,
My heart crumbles just to watch them again.
So close to hear you breathe, feel your warm touch,
God this pain is unbearable, it's tearing my heart, hurts so much.
"I love you" is all you say,
I could stare at you forever and a day,
Can't shake these feelings within.
No one else can really understand,
I dare not let go of your hand,
You might fade away like in the dreams.
I'd ditch work just to be secluded,
Think of you alone in my room,
Time goes by so slowly.
Why am I so jaded,
So miscalculated,
This situation I hate it.
If we ever fall apart,
That'll be the end of my heart.
I can't wait for tomorrow,
One day further from my sorrow.
One day closer to you,
One day closer to your embrace.
You make me feel like it's raining outside,
When the rain is gone I'm all torn up inside.
It's like that when you're close,
It always hurts to see you go away,
Why must I wait until the summer.
What makes me think you'll wait,
What a lonely state.
You better be careful,
Once I hold you I won't dare let go,
This is a bit hopeless I know...
It's hard to wake up,
Knowing you won't be there.
To lean over in my bed,
Shouldn't do it at all instead.
I hope one day when I look,
You'll be there,
I'll melt away at your loving stare.

I've now got a glimpse of what could be,
I've held you and I refuse to let go.
Your warm, soft touching glow.
The way you quietly watch me sleep,
You, I'll forever keep.
