You tie me in knots. My heart thumps crazily against my skin when I try to control my eyes. They look at you and my thoughts scatter like lost jigsaw pieces. I clamp my jaw-the safe that would reveal my only hidden love. But it isn't so hidden is it? My mouth doesn't need to open, tiny lips stay pursed and yet when you appear my heart screams out to you through my eyes, hands and body. My eyes want to give you my love-you just grin and see me as a foolish friend My love lies in wait hoping you'll pick it up and try it on. but you can't, won't, don't. I love you. You torture my soul and ignite it with the briefest of smiles. I don't want to be alone anymore-I don't want to be without you. I will tell my heart (I know she won't listen), my body and eyes that we are only friends and that my tears are only lies and they shouldn't stain my face. You don't belong to me and never did you pretend to. Still I am a traitor to myself and die a little each time your eyes shine when you're not with me.
Reason for writing:
Because I'm in love with someone who is not in love with me. He's my best friend and I can think of nothing else when I'm not with him.(This was written in Bio because of that very reason)
