if only you knew

if only you knew

A Poem by Clare Ashbury
"

for her

"

Slowly you have trailed through

Every inch of my body

Yet the rejection only makes the desire stronger

 

Your voice does something so innocently lustful

To the pure edges of my body

That i might smile in secret

 

You never know of my secret

Of the secret i hold from you

Knowing if i told you, you would leave

 

A secret so silent that you never suspect

And when you do i am again quiet

I can never stop this secret

 

You have done something to me

That i may wither is my self wanting

Yearning to the core

 

Listen to me laugh and run through my thoughts

Listen to my breathing and you will slowly understand

And listen to the way i speak, so soft, so soft

 

You lay as but a voice

No image can rest into my mind

Not a picture or a face comes forth

 

The voice of reason

Of purity and strength

You oh my are words of content

 

I could speak of you forever

I actually really do

And those dreams i have of you

 

You could seduce me with just one word

One noise and compliment

You have no idea what you did night

 

I may be scarred

You though can slowly heal me

Gawd if you only knew if you only knew

 

Missing you is what I do without you

The moment i have you in my ear i am joyful

Blissful with just moments like this

 

And yet i still crave for you

I'M SORRY I CAN'T HELP IT

Rejection is hell, and especially the tears

 

Yet in the end its friendship i truly have of you

A friendship that will last forever

Even if i still want your kiss

 

 

If only you knew.

Sad but very Beautiful.

"I could speak of you forever
I actually really do..."

Yes, you can.

Deeply emotional.

I pray for the good to both of you.

Blessings...
