Love Poem: Impossible

Impossible

I try so hard to understand 

The man inside, apart from the band 

You make me wait, testing my patience 

Then all I get is one crude sentence 

 

I can see that you aren’t so busy 

I ask, but then you call me silly 

No time or words for me today 

I guess I should be on my way 

 

I struggle to act like I don’t care 

Staying silent is such a lonely affair 

I feel so deeply but mustn’t show 

It’s nothing you are eager to know 

 

The eggshells I walk on are fragile 

I tiptoe so you won’t unravel 

But it makes my heart so heavy  

Wondering if you’ll ever be ready 

 

For now I must mute my affection 

Triggers are thrown in every direction 

Do nothing, say nothing, as soon as possible 

And yet my soul aches for the impossible...
