[hometext] => My first poem. So read it, like it, hate it. Just needed something to get my feelings out. So yeah. ENJOY
[bodytext] => Looking at You You sit in class Face looking down, doing your work I should be doing the same thing But I`m too busy looking at you You don’t seem to notice my eyes Watching your face scrunch in confusion or When you write quickly because you just solved a problem But you do eventually look up from that problem And I look away because it would be weird to be looking at you But I can’t help it I check to see if you are working again And you are In my head my thoughts are screaming Saying, “Do your work” or “Write something down” I ignore them and keep watching Looking at you, your hair, your hands, your legs Everything about you seems to distract me Yet I don’t know why This time I listen to those voices and turn away Yet your picture is in my mind, stuck there An image I can’t get out of my head This is where I start daydreaming I seem to be doing that often Mostly about you and I Can you think of that? I wish But you probably don’t You don’t even notice me staring Right at you Noticing every little thing about you Looking at you This hurts me I want you to know this wonderful pain To know how I feel If you could just look up and into my eyes But I cant blame it all on you I turn away at every given chance I don’t know if you look at me Somewhere inside my heart I want you to be noticing things about me too Maybe things like the way I hold my pen Or the way I tap my foot I can’t say anything because I’m turning around My eyes shutting out yours because I have to What if I kept looking at you What would be my prize You quickly averting your eyes? Or maybe you’re looking at someone else Or maybe Ill get a small smile Telling me that you know that I’m looking at you I wont take that chance Its not that I don’t want to Its just I don’t think Ill be able to handle it Just getting a small smile It would break me Seeing that you don’t even know my feelings for you Yet you still smile at me like we are friends Friends, I scoff at the word I don’t want to be friends with you I’m greedy and I want more than that I want you, all of you I’m being a coward Why can’t I turn around? Hoping that my eyes meet yours Although I know that when I will turn around Your eyes wont be looking at me They will be looking at the board Or your paper or your friends Anywhere but at me, at my eyes This is why I`m a coward I don’t want to be rejected I guess? But if I`m such a coward The why cant I forget about you Your hair, your legs, your hands, Your eyes I want to but you somehow have a hold on me That you don’t know about That hurts a lot more than you could imagine I take my chance after my internal debate And I turn around Trying not to be obvious As I scale up you legs to your stomach to your arms and to your neck As my eyes finish traveling I land on your face Your face I take my time hoping that you don’t look at me Let me enjoy this short amount of time that I can get looking at you I scale up your profile I should look away before you turn towards me Probably feeling somebody`s eyes looking at you But I don’t I continue to take my chances I keep looking at your profile Your freckles, lips, nose Finally the two beautiful things that I cant resist even if I try Your eyes I wasn’t expecting them to be looking directly at me This scared me but I kept looking So did you And for a moment I thought that you could see it These so called feelings that I have I notice your eyes once again We are too far away for me to see the different shades As I think of this I think of how you cant see my eyes and their emotions You are still looking at me Never breaking our staring contest I slowly get up I get up to move closer to you You don’t seem to be nervous or scared of me I take it as a good sign and keep moving closer Two desks later I’m next to you We are closer now Never breaking eye contact I wonder if you feel like I do Is your heart beating as fast as mine? I want to ask these questions but I don’t want this moment to be ruined I’m sure that you can see my eyes now The emotions, the feelings I’m close enough to see the different shades in your eyes I’m not looking for colors though I’m looking for feelings I know you can see mine It’s been minutes I’ve been in this desk trying to figure out your feelings I focus on you, just you You are making it hard But you aren’t shutting me out I look closer and closer until… Your eyes blink Shutting out the world that we both seemed to get lost in I look around I’m still in the same seat as I was in before I never moved closer to you I never did anything My eyes snap up to yours Hoping that we have one more chance for this moment Your eyes don’t meet mine They never do So why would I expect that this class would be different The class where I can say that for once you knew me My feelings You never will I’m too much of a coward to do anything The class moves on with the lesson I look down at my paper and it says nothing Do you see what you do to me? I can’t focus I turn back around and try to get myself to pay attention But I always end up in the same position Looking at you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
