My Heart

I’ve come so far but something still isn’t right.
Even as everyone surrounds me, I feel inside 
That they are seeing me from a million miles away.
Because that is where they are;
They are standing on the other side of my heart.

He thought he had reached me and could understand,
But tonight as he looked into my eyes and held my hand
I felt evermore distant and disconnected.
As from the very start,
He is standing on the other side of my heart.

Tonight I wish you could be here with me;
To have your heart beat as mine does, and I want to see
Something other than bridges always misaligned.
I didn’t know it could be so hard
To find someone who can stand on this other side of my heart.

I can relate to this, and you make it all the easier to ( because of the simple and pretty way you put it). I like the varied repetition of the last line in each stanza. Again, well done!

Beautiful poem Lorame.
If only people had the capacity to see what inside each other's hearts. The world would be a much more peaceful and loving place.
