The Truth

You

 

You are beautiful

Vibrant green eyes

And a smile that could melt me away

You are talented

A masterful poet

With a breathtaking voice

You are smart

The way you talk about the things you love

I could listen forever

You are fun

No matter what happens

Everything is an adventure with you

You are always there for me

Giving me a shoulder to lean on

When my own two feet are not enough

 

Me

 

I am a mess

As much as I try to hide it

My world is spinning faster than I can handle

I am shy

I will never leave this shell I have made

I am too scared to take the first step

I am anxious

Deep down inside

I always expect the worst

And a lot of the time, that is what I get



Us

 

We could never be

As much as it hurts for me to say it

I know what you deserve

And it is so much more than me

Nothing will stop me from dreaming

And sometimes I am hopeful

That’s the scariest part

For hope is like a dam

Rising and rising

In increments that mean nothing

Until I must face the flood
