my eyes burn

they want to cry 

but the tears,

they just stay bottled up inside  

 

scared, alone 

but people pass by

sending shivers down my spine

 

trying to speak the words in my head,

they don't come out, 

or they do 

but not right

why is it so hard

so say what I feel 

and make it sound right

 

I love you, you know

you love me too 

but there's more:

I'll love you forever

but that you don't know, 

might never

even after forever
