every time i see You
i can feel You deep inside
must be something wrong with me
if You must try to hide
every day i want You
leaves me fearing how You feel
must be what i dream of You
that makes it so unreal
every dream i place You
i can see You high above
must be where i'm putting You
that makes it far from love
everyone before You
disappears when You are seen
must be words so hard to say
i don't know what they mean
everyone that knows You
knows that i will not be Yours
must be desolated fear
that makes me still unsure
every night without You
wipes away the starry skies
must be darkness in the air
that dampens both my eyes.
PUBLICATION: The Crier, Vol. 34, No. 5, April 14, 1997, Corning Community College.
HISTORY: I spent a good portion of the summer of '96 in my room,
writing poetry. This is one of the better writings from that
period.
Notice that the word "I"--as with most of the words here--is in
lowercase, but the word "you" is capitalized. This shows the
appropriate feeling of inferiority that the poem is built around.
