You draw me
Like a moth to a flame
Within the light surrounding you
Is where I must remain.

If but for a moment
I can look into your eyes
To see the love that you possess
For this I'd gladly die.

Your touch frees me
Each tender stroke I feel
Gives me such a warm caress
It makes my senses reel.

Your words comfort
Just the sound of your sweet voice
Completely captivates my heart
I stay, I have no choice.

You're a beacon
To this lonely soul that cries
Each moment that we are apart
Is one that dies inside.

So let me fly
In the essence of your light
And if it be the flame that kills me
I'll gladly go tonight.

Just to know
With wings you gave me life
And let me fly inside your love
Surrounded by your light.

You don't know how I'm feeling.
I have yet to vocalize
Desire deep inside me.
Can you see it in my eyes?

I tremble when I'm near you
Heat travels up my thighs
and I want you with an urgency
That I just can't describe.

Dare I reach out to touch you?
Do you think you'd realize
How much I want and need you?
Can you see it in my eyes?

I long to say, "I love you,"
But am scared of your reply.
Terrified like a child
I've become paralyzed.

The camouflaged emotions
Lead to pain and silent cries.
And yet I just can't tell you.
Don't you see it in my eyes?

Confessing through this poem
My dilemma summarized.
The feeling's quite cathartic,
But will lead to my demise.

I have feelings of love for the guy I seek.
Does he love me too, what does he think of me?

I wish I could tell him he makes me whole, but I'm afraid to say
what's deep in my soul.

I don't want to lose him, for I would be alone,
and some days I just can't wait to hear his voice on the phone.

He does certain things to make me feel loved,
some days he wants to be alone and my heart is shoved.

I want to feel as though I am his safeguard,
the one he can come to when things get hard.

I will always be there to help him along,
and before we met I wasn't as strong.

I wish I could tell him what I feel inside,
but I'm afraid of what he'll say, how he'll act on the outside.

 

 Full Of Love; Marissa

When you love someone so deep inside,
It seems like it's so easy to hide.
You've loved him for so very long.
You would think he could do no wrong.

Every day you would hope and pray.
That he would always stay this way.
He treated you like you should be treated.
You thought your life was finally completed.

You thought your love was growing true.
And then one day it was all so blue.
He started putting you down and it hurt.
You thought all you were to him was dirt.

He started ignoring you and you wondered why.
All you wanted to do was curl up and die.
You thought this love would never end,
but that was all so fake and pretend.

One night he was so sweet to you.
You thought all those things were maybe untrue.
Two days later he was back the same.
You thought you were the one to blame.

Maybe he thought this was getting too serious.
And that you had become a little too curious.
By this time you knew it wouldn't last.
All the nice things he said to you are now in the past.

You thought that you would marry him some day.
But this time God wanted to get his way.
You wanted things back how they were before,
but you knew this couldn't happen anymore.

It was a Saturday night about ten o'clock.
You couldn't believe this it was a shock.
You knew this was going to happen soon,
as you laid there and cried in the pale lit moon.

With Love; Marissa
