You hold my heart in your hands.
A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)
My heart is in your hand.
You hold my heart in the palm of your lovely hands. You don't see it because you don't understand. I cry every night, knowing that when I wake up, you will not be by my side, but in my mind, I have to run and hide. The push of a few buttons with your fingertip, and you will know the reason. However, your eyes remain closed, leaving you blind. You are young, and I am old. That is the problem, I hope you know. I wait for a love that will never be. I feel like I'm lost at sea. I need a lighthouse so maybe I can see? Please rescue me. But I know in my heart you are the only one for me.
About this poem
Okay this poem is actually true. I love a girl but she's younger than me so I know it can never be. So I keep it in my mind and hide it. This poem is in her cell phone she holds in her hands but she don't know it.
