Bottled Up Emotions

I melt when I look at you.
Do you even know I'm here?
I am afraid, what am I to do?
If you like me it is so unclear.
I sit and pray I will catch your eye.
But you never seem to care.
I hate that I'm so damn shy.
If I had the courage my feelings I could share.
But insted I just bottle it all up inside.
And put you on a pedistal and worship you above.
Is it fear or foolish pride?
How could I really be in love?
Not even a touch or a kiss.
I can't even talk to you.
But with just a look I'm in bliss.
Is that a love that's true?
There are so many things that would keep us apart.
The biggest one is we should probably meet.
Yes I guess that would be the best way to start.
And there you are, right over there, now how do I move my feet?
Somehow I must just let you know.
That I have loved you from afar.
Your sweet smile, your bright eyes, your little laugh, I love them so.
Yes in my dark dismal life you are my shining star.
But I know you can't love me.
You Love one of my best friends.
So I guess this just can't be.
But I will love you to the end.
So I swallow hard and put it deep down inside.
Now love's emotion is bottled up again.
Knowing I haven't even tried.
So best wishes to you my love and of course your true love my friend Ben.

    LOVED IT. I really did to me this was just unexplainable. So i am really lost for words. My favorite part was when you said "If you like me it is so unclear. I sit and pray I will catch your eye. But you never seem to care. I hate that I'm so damn shy. If I had the courage my feelings I could share. But insted I just bottle it all up inside. And put you on a pedistal and worship you above" Very good. thanks for entering my contest i wish you the best of luck. ..<3.. Shelly

    Thanks for your entry. I really enjoyed this one. I have been fortunate never to have fallen for the significant other of a friend but I can appreciate you putting the feeling into words. Thank you for entering it into my contest and good luck.

    Hmm...

    I don't know how I feel about this poem yet. I like the realness of it as well as the idea you took from the prompt, but, I think you might have been able to do more with this. But, who am I to question anyone else's piece of writing?

    "So I swallow hard and put it deep down inside.
    Now love's emotion is bottled up again.
    Knowing I haven't even tried."

    This was probably my favorite part of the poem, a great interpretation of the picture!

    Good Job! Thanks for your entry and Good Luck in the contest!
