In an upside-down garden

I don't say "hi" when I walk through the door,
I only say "did anyone call?"
Anyone being you.

I don't try and go back to my old 'hood,
unless I call and make sure you're there,
because you're the one I want to see.

If only you knew what I can't tell you,
I'm sure you'd see me differently,
in a different kind of light.

If only you knew you're my angel,
the one who protects me,
the one who watches over me.

If only you knew that I love you,
but you'll never know that for sure,
because I'm not going to tell you.

If only you could look inside my soul,
and see all the thoughts I'm dying to tell you,
see all the words I'm dying to say.

If only I could open my mouth
instead of sitting there in silence,
then maybe my life wouldn't be this way.

I know you're in a better place and though I cannot see your face, I know you're smiling down on me, saying everything's okay. ~R Kelly (I wish)

I liked this alot, Allysa.
You expressed yourself very well.
By God! SOMEHOW I am going to give you the courage to tell this guy how you feel! If it's the last thing I do! hehehe..
Ally, he'll never know how you feel unless you tell him- as hard as it may be. ( And boy is it ever hard.) I enjoyed this bunches.

Nicely done, Allysa.  However, if this situation is tearing you up inside, then JUST TELL HIM!  I hope you find the courage... It's not fun to go through years of wondering "what if...?"
Nicely done, I enjoyed this.  Good luck on the situation.

Nice job!  I especially liked the lines that anonymous albert had already pointed out.  I agree with Marie also.  Tell him!  But I know that is easier said than done, so I wont say it again OK?

Very nicely done here Allysa, you always prove to write wonderful poetry.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Allysa, this is such a good poem.
I do hope you don't hold yourself back though
Say what it is you have to say
Don't let the moment pass you by
You might regret it
Thanks for the read
