Isn't love supposed to be grand
But instead I hold the pieces of my heart in my hand
On the outside I smile
But inside I die all the while
For I know there shall never be
Anything between you and me
I hid my want for you inside
My want for you to be by my side
When someone would mention your name
I would do my best to act the same
But inside like fire my heart would burn
Beacause for you it will always yearn
I must face the thought of you each day
And blink away the tears that get in the way
People say I will live
That others have love to give
That I will find someone
That my time is not nearly done
But without you near
Time alone is what I fear
I have plenty of time left on earth
But without you what is it worth
I have never felt this way
And I know I will never again all the way till my dying day
People may say that I am just naive
But they are not the ones that feel how my heart grieves
Without you or at least someone with me
My sanity slips slowly away with each day I must breathe
I think about you while I cry myself to sleep
One that is restless and not even close to deep
You found out about my longing for you
How for you anything I would do
I didn't want you to know
But you found out and now my pain grows although slow
Knowing that you will never love a person like me
You probably even think of me repulsively
So here I am crying as I write
Tears are blurring my sight
I hope that I have not angered you
But my heart will for you always beat true
Author notes
I was slightly depressed the night I wrote this..desperate for just a hint of love from someone...

Wow, great write. Good luck and thanks for entering.

I do feel the yearning in this. I do feel the sorrow for someone to love. However I feel it is missing something very important...
Thanks for entering and goodluck

I really like the poem, but you have a few misspelled words. Otherwise the poem is very deep, I like how it shows your emotions.
Good job and Good Luck,
Luna. -
this is a really good poem i can feel your emotion in it, i like the flow that you have goin on for most of the poem then the sudden break and then it starts is actually very effective. the choice of words is really good too well done
