In A Nutshell by Sara Suvada
I think of you often
Do you think of me?
So sweet, so kind,
Do I even cross your mind?
I know your face in my mind,
I know your voice in my ears,
I think I know you,
Even through these years.
Are you my friend?
Are you my love?
That couldn't be,
You don't even see me.
I cry myself to sleep,
Every night my mind wanders,
If you're not the first thing,
You're the second thing on mind.
My eyes see you,
My heart aches,
For a love I assume,
Will someday bloom.
Who said friends could be lovers?
What were they thinking?
My love life, sinking or swimming?
It's sinking.
I am scared
I am afraid
My life right now
Is one big show.
Episode after episode,
Re- run after re- run
Why do I love you?
Let me show you.
When you are around me
So is the thought of her
I wish deeply
You weren't with she.
I have respect for a couple
What they share is beautiful
But what about the little people?
Whom you don't even see?
When you are my friend
I am yours
Your company completes me
Whenever you take the time.
To tell you the words
The three "easy" ones
I have to say,
And hard in a way.
Will you be calm?
Will you hate me after?
Will you be my friend?
Or will everything end?
With love, there's lust,
I lust for you,
I love you.
As for your thoughts on me?
Do you think of me?
So sweet, so kind,
Do I even cross your mind?
I know your face in my mind,
I know your voice in my ears,
I think I know you,
Even through these years.
Are you my friend?
Are you my love?
That couldn't be,
You don't even see me.

If you're not the first thing,
You're the second thing on mind.

Great Poem!!! I love it! Keep up the great work, you're a poet in action. I love reading poety and yours is amazing, thanks for letting others read your great talent! Great Poem! - Deanna |

These are all of the words that I never knew how to say to someone who have me wraped around his finger but yet and still belongs to another, and which the four of us are all friends. If only they knew, what pain could explode, what houses could be broken. So I hold every thing and a die slowly from the thought of wanting to be held, touch and loved by another who couldn't care less until we are all alone. To sum it up, "IT FEELS SO GOOD, TO BE LOVED SO BAD!" Keep up the good work. I truly enjoyed this poem. - Aquianetta |
