The Girl
Swirling thoughts course through my mind,
Silent as the grave.
Burning questions do I bind,
Yet still a voice they crave.
Desperately longing to be heard
By that listening ear.
Knowing one day that soul will come
Loosing my lips from fear.
Until then, in silence I'll wait
In chains of my own making.
I'll sit in muzzled meditation,
The silence, my heart breaking.
The Guy
Too long you've sat in silence.
Too long you've hid in fear.
Too long you've bound your lips
Waiting for one to hear.
Let me be the one.
I truly want to know
All that lies inside your mind.
Allow your thoughts to show.
Unlock those chains upon your mouth.
Relax, you're safe with me.
Allow yourself to trust
So you I can finally see.
The Couple
Do you truly long to know
Who I am inside?
I have no greater wish
Than for you, in me, to confide.
Tell me why you wish to know
And perhaps, I'll finally share.
You're like an unwrapped present,
Hidden beneath your layers.
But what if what's inside
Isn't what you would choose?
That's impossible because
What I want
Is only
You.

beautiful. I love the two people as pieces and the relationship as the conclusion a bit of each. it flows well as both a conversation and as a rhyming poem.
Good luck in the contest!

very cool. what else is there to say. oh yeah who are the people talking or do you not really know.

yes, i know the people. no, i'm not telling who. not that it really matters.
and there's a reason i didn't finish. that's left to the imagination.
