Sometimes (A Poem About Teen Love)

Sometimes I feel like you don't know what I'm going through,

Even though you do I know this,

Doesn't everyone go through this,

This emptiness I feel,

Yet there is no cure,

Trying to find places to hide it,

Trying to find things to replace what was so pure,

Like patching holes on a boat,

I know it the best that at some point I will sink,

But yet I still try,

Trying and trying and trying

This gets old 

Layer upon layer trying to save me,

Trying to survive,

This is what you see,

But its a very different story,

When it comes down to it I'm trying to hide the fact that I don't what to show this,

Isn't that what makes me, me,

The biggest question is why, 

Why do I feel the need to hide this,

You, you,

The very thing I want,

The nearest thing I want to hold close,

That very thing is why I hide.
