my arms
reach
to capture the elusive wind

my eyes
burn, wistfully

they burn for you

Despite my love for you
Despite how willing I am to throw my suspicions away
My heart is never open
And I am always alone

my tears
shiver
and capture the golden sunlight

my eyes
wait, imploreing

my eyes wait for you

Despite my want for you
Despite how willing I am to throw my chances away
My heart is stuck shut
And I am always alone

your arms
reach
to capture the elusive me

I want to give myself to you
but my heart keeps holding me back

my heart
my heart screams, painfully

my heart screams for you

Despite my love for you
Despite how willing I am to throw myself into your arms
My heart dosen't open
I am forever alone

But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"

Brilliant poem! I love your work! And if it's about you, take the plunge. Although I'm not quite sure how you can get your heart to change it mind. Hmmm.

Wren, that expresses so much. I see, in addition to the frightened heart, also an elusive lover. I may be reading wrong, but I see that if the lover was more fully giving, then the little closed heart would open. But it's waiting for the key, and he has it, and is not using it correctly. Or not even realizing that he has it.  Let me know if I'm wrong. I have this tendency to appply all poems I like to my own life

Cat- If you want the truth.......
Its more like I have finnally found a man who is willing to try and unlock my heart. The problem itself lies in my heart. He is trying, I know he is, and I love him for that...it's just that I have so many bad memories- and they keep getting in the way.
Thats the truth behind this poem.
