Poem: Lovesick

Oh how I long to hear that voice

For it is the sound of sweetness which has no flaws

For me to see her is like looking at beauty itself

I feel as if I’m breaking the law

I would like to follow her where ever she goes

But I can’t for, my feet will not move

My stomach’s churning, my heart is racing

But all I wonder is “how will I prove

My love for her”, Then I breathe

Then I sigh for she is gone

The pain subsides, but my confusion lingers

As I ponder “What went wrong?”

Months pass and I see her still

But to no avail

I try to get her to notice me

But I always fail

I know that old saying

True love is rare

But it’s as if I’m invisible

It’s as if I’m not even there

However I will never give in

Until I win her heart

Be it with strength

Courage or even with smarts

Even if it’s my own undoing

No one’s to blame

For she is the spark

That set my heart aflame
