If Only Date: Friday, 19th November 2004 @ 01:00:48 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: a_bear If I could say the things I want just let my feelings go. But I keep a tight reign on them.. and always hollar, “Whoa.” I’m always afraid of hurt, So I put my feelings on a shelf. I’m afraid of hurting someone else I don’t care about myself. I’m always aware of others and stepping on their toes. So I keep my distance and that’s just the way it goes But If I dared to let them go these feelings held so tight? you’d have to shield those eyes of yours no sun has shined so bright. There is no ocean quite so deep as my feelings locked and bound nothing quite so savage as my lust nothing as wild, as this beast There exists no such wild hound. So I keep my feelings all locked up for fear they might break loose Yes, My heart it stays alone, a poor and lonely, sad recluse. If it would not hurt someone, and I could tell you so.. What a delight it would be To just let these feelings go. To tell the world from some high peak I think I would take flight.. Yes I would soar to let you know I’m sure I’d be that light. The heavens would absorb the sounds and echo on all night If only something could take my love and just make it..be all right. ©a_bear2004 This poem is Copyright © a_bear Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
