The Cover of my Love

This poem is about a love for someone she can't have and how she hides inside herself.

The fear inside
breaks through my soul
There's only you that can know
The flutters, nerves
are all within
but they are windows to my sin

The pain that grows
for you I feel
Your lips I yearn
For you to share
A kiss to make me
stop and stare
at the magic
that appears

I swallow the tears
You see a mask
Can not show the painful task
ahead you see
before me is the cover of a lifetime

To hide away
so far inside
for fear you feel diversified
The beating inside
allows me to disguise
My heart, my soul, my reality

The act ends here
In front of you
Never more will you
see a tear
I love you I know
Words cannot show
How much pain
Can bear on me

Goodbye I say
I do not mean
For you will always be
a part of me.
