Words Left Unspoken

I watch you from the corner of the room

In silence, my heart pounding with every breath

Frozen

Every small smile never escapes my gaze

The brilliant sparkle of your eyes never go unnoticed

 Beauty

Do you know how painful it is?

To want what you absolutely may not have

To love even though you hate every second of it

To feel so obsessed, it frightens the hell out of you

Loving someone you can’t touch

So hard but it comes with so much ease

The world wouldn’t understand or accept this kind of love

It cannot be spoken.

It cannot be heard.

It will be shunned.

Love like this is forbidden. Is unwanted. Is untouchable. Is unreasonable.

Uncontrollable.

You think I want to love you?

This time there’s no one to blame for the pull from your heart that won’t let me go

Addiction

The way you laugh with everyone else but me

The way you speak to everyone else but me

Unnoticed

The way I’m different but I still don’t stand out enough for you

What do I have to do?

To what extreme?

I hate when I dream about you

I wish I never knew you but I know I would live a life of regret if I did

Confusion

When you cry, I want to hold you in my arms and promise you immunity from all pain

But my feelings are left inside to torture while all you see is a smile from me

Hidden

If you looked deep into my eyes, you might be able to decipher the want I feel for you

 Read my soul through my eyes like I do everyday to you

 Vulnerability

Loving someone you can’t touch

So difficult but it comes as easily as breathing

The world turns away from this kind of love

It cannot be revealed.

It cannot be shown.

It will be ripped apart. Torn into shreds.

Love like this is forbidden. Is unnecessary. Is unreversible. Is undeniable.

Uncontrollable.

I’ll never let you see.

This feeling inside of me.

I can only watch from afar

Everything I’ll ever want.

I’ll ever need.

I’ll never have.

You.
