Touching the untouchable

A million ways

Still I didn’t touch you

Counting the days

For my next chance

To see your face

Admiring you from a distance

My eyes screaming your name

Are you secretly doing the same?

With agonizing patience

I wait for the stars to align

For you to give me a sign

“You look beautiful tonight”

My shy lips shape in your presence

Just a gentle wisp remains

Swallowing this innocent sentence

Choosing the silence once again

Sure, it could be that easy

But I question every unspoken word

Don’t want to sound creepy

Nor be the one that gets hurt

Still I care about you deeply

Caught in this web by choice

Woven from the sound of your voice

Every string sparkles georgeously

Dewdrops, representing your mind

Cardinal directions

On the moral compass I like  

Spinning out of control

Pointing at me, then pivoting astray

You are pulling me in 

By pushing me away

So close to finally touch you

But with every step I take towards

You try to scare me off

Punish me for handing you my love

Yes, I cried

I'm confused

And far from alright

Every time I feel your spark 

I offer you my fragile heart

But you repell love

Like it was acid rain

And here I stand

Once again
