Here I go again,
And how can this be?
I’d almost giving up on thoughts of you and I
But this feeling’s quiet nice, and I can’t even lie.
This throbbing in my chest, a long awaited feeling,
Should have known it would be you, that I’ll be dealing.
I tried to play it cool, but I’m really not fine,
Just to be close to you, I’ll gladly cut the line.
Gathered my strength, to bury these old feelings,
Useless attempts, when it’s your smile I’m seeing.
And I even attempted to treat you, like just another girl,
But a woman walked in, and blew up my world.
And I swear it’s not a reaction, to just another moment,
The composure once held, is now truly broken.
Making claims I would no longer fall for you,
But I can’t seem to start something, that was never really through.
Always hoping, you’d remain in my life,
Wishing you didn’t have to leave that night.
Time departs, and delighted times slip into sober thoughts,
My heart still speaks, and you’re all the talk.
This feeling struck more than I wanted to show,
Maybe confessing more than you desired to know.
But I'll gladly take the risk, revealing what my heart had to say,
If I knew it'll be the last time, I'll see you walk away.

Loving the song-like quality of the poem and the imagery of one's heart speaking.
ReplyDeleteStanza #3 is the most poignant to me and after only reading this twice, I've already memorized it! That awesome stanza is holding enviable company with memorable quotes in my head from Edgar Alan Poe, Shakespeare, & Langston Hughes. Great job!
on stanza #3? what part in the line?
