Joseph


I don’t know why you do this to me

Make me crazy and lose the

Ability to speak

Around you I feel weak

Even though

I know I shouldn’t be

 

We’re not together

But I feel we should be

But you have Her

And He has me

Stuck by circumstance

Trapped by safety

We settle for

Stolen glances

And fervent kisses

 

You and Me

Something I wish

Could be

But alas my love

It’ll never exist

 

Moments with you

Make time

Cease to matter

But when that

Glass veil shatters

It hurts me like

No other

 

You make me crazy

You make me mad

You make me feel

Like the best you’ve

Ever had

I want to scream

I want to cry

But then you come

Back each time

 

You hold me close

And kiss me hard

Make it so I

No longer feel ignored

 

I wait for you

I pine for you

But I will never

Fully have you

Joseph
