I try to stay away
I try to not think of you
but when I think
of touching your face,
inhaling the smell of your skin
or laying beside you I can not escape.
I lye awake every night
planning my next move
when I close my eyes
your face is all I see
I can't eat,
I can' sleep,
I can't think of anything else
but you
but we can't be
no matter how much I want you
you and I
are taking different paths
and our destiny
is to be forbidden.
That doesn't mean
I will stop loving you
I will always think of you
at night
when I'm asleep
I will dream of you.

Love the poem, but it's time for some brutality.
Is "lye" spelled correct? "I can't eat, I can' sleep, I can't think" should be "I can't eat, can't sleep, can't think" the "I" was too repetitive. Try to cut down your lines a bit. I don't mean take out the words, but press "enter" every now and then. It's easier for the eye to follow shorter lines.
Just thoutht you'd like to know. Love!
