I used to watch you,
Anticipating your smile,
Hoping for your touch,
Wishing for your laughter
To caress my ears.
Now I watch at a distance,
Dreading your sneer,
Wincing at your fingers,
Unable to hear
The music in your voice.
There is still a place in my heart
That wants you,
I sneak glances at your body,
Steal glimpses of your smile,
Record in my mind the sound of your joking
Voice.
But it's not what it used to be,
You want my pursuit,
But cut my legs off mid stride.
You want my woo,
But destroy your desirability
With your confusing and unkind words.
You drag my heart,
Strung along with my blind hope
For your return,
But shut down with your selfish reasons
For distancing yourself from me.
Pick me up I beg you.
Carry me through my dark days,
And let me carry you through your own.
