YOU!

By: Jessenia Rachel Sanchez

You talk and I'm a mute!
You look into my brown eyes
and I swear it's like I'm unable to move,
to speak, to tell you everything that lies in me and
More!
You touch me and my hormones are
unable to sustain any type of control!
You ask me softly what I want in my life.
As my body, heart, and mind want to scream out... YOU!
My self conscious won't allow me to initiate,
to even admit that it's you I seek, want, crave,
in any type of way.
I see you from a distance and as badly as I want
to walk up to you to feel your body up against mine.
I walk the opposite way, regretting my decision,
running away from myself, my emotions,
my Hearts Most Intimate Desire...
YOU!
Except I find myself in another's arms
with whom I don't indulge any type of interest in my heart.
Kissing him doesn't bring me any type of pleasure to my heart.
Only makes me see, feel that he is not YOU!
The lover that I have run away from for far too long!
I'm unable to be captured. Won't allow to be caught!
As the road is growing more empty, more shallow,
it's depth growing anxiously shorter.
I turn around and you are there seeking the same truth
I relunctantly attempted to answer.
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REALLY WANT? AND THAT IS YOU!
