As my words connected to this paper
my thoughts got heavier
feeling the pressure to impress you  
I tried to describe your beauty
but my heart felt jealous and didn't let me
it held that feeling captive close to my soul
and placed my mind as the warden
captured in an emotionless planet

I slept with my feelings
and birthed depression
the pain of knowing that I love you
but fear to tell you
afraid of your reaction

I hold on to pieces of you
through this perfect lens is the image I have of you
your beauty and personal view
When I find the courage, I fear it will be too late
you will have left and found another lover  
Now I write these words to my thoughts of you
From my hearts point of view
I tried moving on but my soul still points at you
