To my love

To my love,

Like a siren you call me and like the ship I crash

Like a god I worship you, you surround me like a rash.

Like an angel you guide me, I always look to you,

Like a candle you light the room, show me safe passage

And guide me through.

Just like you pure heart, my feelings are true.

I watch you from afar,

Loving you, admiring you

And not knowingly you've stolen my heart.

My feelings aren't illusions or a chemical imbalance,

They run deep, strong and heavy with valence.

And with innocence my heart follows you longingly

For I am the invisible girl, the one you never see.

I hide behind my smiles, secretly aching,

Over time, day by day,

My heart quietly, painfully breaking.

For I know you belong to another.

You kiss her sweetly and look at her the way I would wish,

And yet I tell these lies because she is a deserving lover.

I keep my thoughts at bay for you I endure this suffer.

I tell you untruths, for in her heart you belong,

And in return she own's you,

Like birds own the morning song.

Therefore I sit by idle, quiet never declaring my love,

For I know you receive from another, that your happy.

And for me, That's enough.

From the girl, you'll never know.

Take care, you'r secret love.

[A Red Red Rose 4 U Luv]

This is absolutely beautiful, so full of emotions! It is so hard to be able to love someone and let them be with another, this is a brilliant piece!

[Demi Rose]

reading this reduced me to something i wanted to forbid myself to experience. i think it is because it touched me so deeply and i loved how you wrote this. it sets a stage that welcomes much in way of delight and wonder.

First off let me say "woohoo new word :)" After looking up what valence means I think it fits perfectly too.
Favorite line/s:

"And in return she own's you,
Like birds own the morning song."

So perfectly describes it all, I love that line.
The whole piece drips with emotion and I liked the way it flowed when I said it out loud.

[Distant horizons]

Beautiful and sorrowful. wonderful.

[Coyote Poetry]

Those secret love's are the secrets we want to shout out loud. But we can't. I like the way you told the story in this poem. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.
