I am

My head stays bowed,
My chin quakes,
I long to feast upon her gaze,
My dull heart aches.

  I am reticence,
  I am desire.

My hopes and dreams curdle,
Swallow my yearning,
A sour taste in my mind,
Hope it's apathy I'm learning.

  I am dirt,
  I am filth,

My heart is choosing,
What my mind can't accept,
I'm awkward around her,
Does she know how I've wept?

  I am pain,
  I am Anguish.

I need to be near her,
To feel her, to touch,
Walls of society divide us,
Its expectations too much.

  I am longing,
  I am weakness,

Her penetrating gaze,
Seeks out my despair,
Her arms encircle me,
The world moves on, unaware.

  I am a circle,
  I am freedom,
  I am me.
