Sometimes
I love you means
I want to love you,
I’ll stay a little while longer,
I’m not sure how to leave,
I have no where else to go.
So I write a book
About love
And realise
You are hidden behind
Every single word.
You don’t want to accept me
Maybe you don’t like me.
I am not educated and beautiful like you.
So many emotions
Unforgettable, uncontrolled
How to express?
How to cope?
My ink can’t describe
Everything about you.
When can I own you as mine.
Tell me now my dear!
Thinking thinking
I am losing sleep.
