I'll hide within myself

Feelings tucked away on a shelf.

I feel this way,

Somehow I don't know what to say.

I'll say, "I love you."

But never admit I'm IN love.

I want to rip this out,

I want to stand and shout.

Can't they disappear?

These feelings I fear...

Why not learn from MY past?

Because time slithers on fast?

Will YOU take what's left of my heart?

Can YOU turn the ashes into art?

Should I trust YOU to take care of me?

Would anyone else agree?

I say, "I love you"...

And... It's true.

Just... don't break me.

I KNOW what YOU can be.
