Bound

Bound

A Poem by Aleyah

My longing heart pulses,

bound by your iridescent glow,

Counting your quickening footsteps,

I watch you come and go.

 

You cannot see me slipping

I’m falling off the edge,

Just waiting for your hand,

To pull me up again.

 You’re melting in my hands,

Like cold and numbing ice

Coquette and unsuspicious,

I know this won’t suffice.

 

Days have passed and nights have gone,

And I’m waiting just for you,

But you remain so far away,

What else can I do?

Oceans of eyes look past me,

Everyone’s but yours,

Not once have you glanced my way,

Leaving me wanting more.

 

Lost in fields of dreams,

Stuck inside the glass,

Sitting, hoping, wishing,

Waiting for you to pass.

So captivated by your presence,

Dreaming to get inside,

Don’t you hear me calling out?

A way in I've yet to find.

 

I'm wavering....frail and fragile,

I’ve almost given up,

But I’m roped in and enchanted,

Longing for your touch.

Beautifully-written and very flowing poem!!! I know how it feels though, I went through it aswell, especially the part where you say:

"Days have passed and nights have gone,
And I’m waiting just for you,
But you remain so far away,
What else can I do?
Oceans of eyes look past me,
Everyone’s but yours,
Not once have you glanced my way,
Leaving me wanting more."

I know how it feels, the worse they make you feel, the more you want them and need them to look at you, just one simple look, and everything will be ok.

LOVED reading this one!!!!!! =D
