As we spin in circles,
Around and around,
I look everywhere.
Except your eyes.
I used to stare at them for hours,
Wishing I could see them up close.
But now that I had the chance,
I was afraid to.
I fought to keep the tears in,
Holding fast to your hand in mine.
My skin was sensitive,
The nerves going crazy with your hand on my waist.
You smile when I say something,
You laugh when I tell you about life.
But it immediately seems to go away,
And it never touched your eyes.
I stare towards the floor,
Just wishing I could be everything for you.
Hoping against hope for that day to come,
When you would stare at me and say you love me.
I'm crazy to imagine your lips against mine,
But I can't see to let that picture disappear.
There's no way for my heart to let you go.
I think of you every day.
The song is coming to an end,
And we're still silent.
We spin around a few more times,
When finally the music fades.
I look up at your face
And see a tiny smile there.
But when I look in your eyes....
I see pain and sadness.
I hope that it's because you want me,
But that hope is only a sliver.
It's only been seconds,
And I have to turn away.
That look just wrenched my heart.
I couldn't stand to look any more.
I walked away
With tears about to spill over.
You walk by me again
And I think you see the stains on my cheeks.
Why can't you comfort me?
That's really all I want.
But you just look at me
Again with a sad look in your eyes.
Just come over and hold me in your arms.
You don't know what I feel.
Whenever I get the chance to look in your eyes,
I feel love well up,
But then the rejection takes over.
And then I feel the pain.
Your eyes are beautiful,
But I can't look too often,
For fear of feeling a pain so difficult.
I can't do that any more.
Author notes
I danced with Daniel a couple days ago at a church dance, and this is how it felt. I tell the story as is here and I hope you like it. Love is a difficult thing.....
What do you think?

You have captured the Love/Pain rollercoaster cycle of love not confirmed and nor committed. I most certianly is a difficult but you will survive dear poet. Don't give up hope and Keep Writting! Well done!

Un-even love allways tugs and pulls at the heart strings. But even in the emotional ringer of this unrequieted love there is a lesson to learn. How we deal with emotional pain, is the building blocks of our character. This such a sad and bittersweet poem.
