I need you but you will never need me in the same way,
I suppose this is my debt to pay.
My punishment for liking a girl,
Maybe my guilt is eating me up?
For I am sure I would slip up,
For everything I treasure is taken from me,
Before I have a chance to prove I'm worthy
Either that or I throw it away!
For at the time I don't realise what I have
Though I'm sure if I had you I would be whole.
I know You have been burned,
I don't wish to do that,
I only want to make you happy,
But I fear I would fail
For you deserve more than what I have to give
But without you I cannot live
Tell me what I am to do
I don't want to lose you.
Sorry for being honest.

emo-ish? def not! i think this has lots of good emotion but it doesnt sound emo-ish. just sounds like another girl that has another problem like so many others when the one you love, never loves you. and that makes this poem lovely, you wrote about it, you didnt moan about it. nice write x
