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

- Comment from author about the poem: As hopeful and romantic as I am, at my core I am a realist. Speaking the cold hard truth can sometimes be very difficult, which is why I am so grateful to have poetry as an outlet. Hope you enjoy the poem.

A lovely heartfelt lament........
Thank you, glad you found it lovely.
Stop being so hard on yourself. You don’t realize how wonderful you really are.
If only it were that easy, unfortunately I have always been this way. Thank you so much for the kind words though, they help more than you could imagine.
