Should I Say It

This poem is a love letter I wrote that had someone I knew in mind. I never sent it to her, but I hope she's doing well.

I often think and ask myself if life contains a prize,

That fate will someday give to me, or if it’s all just

Lies, for I have reached out many times, always to

My demise, so I gave up awhile back, feeling this

Choice was wise.

Whether it be, a parking fee, or asking a girl out,

I don’t even attempt it, for I just give in to doubt.

But recently I’ve realized life gives nothing if you

Pout, and so I wish to say to you what life is all

About.

Even now, as I write this, I worry it’s for naught,

And that you will think I’m weird or find I’m not

What you thought. But I must at least write this

Down or I will be so fraught, for keeping this

Bottled inside is making me distraught.

I admit my feelings are stronger than the average

Joe, and my social relation skills amount to just

“Hello.”, and so my proposition doesn’t know how

Far to go, so if you could direct me I would really

Like to know.

I think of you and what I see is beauty in all ways.

You’re nice, you’re smart, you’re beautiful, this

All to my amaze. I thought I was the only one, that

Tried to be so kind, but then I had met you and

Just completely blew my mind.

I am aware, this poem is, a grande cliche faux pas,

But frankly my greatest forte’s also my greatest flaw.

And so I wish to ask you, and I don’t want to offend,

But if things work over time, could we be more than

Friends?

Too bad you didn't send it...I think she would have liked this love letter.
The structure is different...the flow a little outside the box...but I think it works.
I am a fan of unconventional. The message is beautiful. Nice job.
