Can You See It In My Eyes?

by Nikki Janssen   Apr 9, 2006


You don't know how I'm feeling.
I have yet to vocalize.
Desire deep inside me.
Can you see it in my eyes?

I tremble when I'm near you.
Heat travels up my thighs,
And I want you with an urgency.
That I just can't describe.

Dare I reach out to touch you?
Do you think you'd realize,
How much I want and need you?
Can you see it in my eyes?

I long to say, "I Love You",
But am scared of your reply.
Terrified like a child.
I've become paralyzed.

The camouflaged emotions,
Lead to pain and silent cries.
And yet I just can't tell you.
Don't you see it in my eyes?

Confessing through this poem.
My dilemma summarized.
The feelings quite cathartic,
But will lead to my demise.

    I Love your poem! I am going through the same thing with this guy I know and I just don't have the guts to tell him how I feel.
