(AN: I've been dealing with a lot of angst of late, so poetry remains my venue. My poems To My Lili Marlene, Broken Heart, and Glimpse From the Heart tell more of the story.)

Nosferatu

Am I some sort of loathsome fiend?
Am I a sight obscene?
Reached out with love, hurt in return.
With fire from within did the heart burn.

Is caring for you such a crime.
Then I am guilty as you charge.
Condemn me to the prison barge.
I'll do the required time.

I've been labeled a stalker many times before.
But I am not anything like that, don't you see.
And people wonder why I always lock the door.
To my heart. To the shadows I must flee.

Hopefully you don't follow this mold.
Unlike past crushes of old.
It's in the nature of man to make a scapegoat.
Of the geek, the shy loner, the campus ghost.

Perhaps my appearance reminds you of Nosferatu.
Or the creature of species rattus rattu.
My intentions are honorable and pure.
Your kindness and compassion hold such allure.
The cold shoulder, a treatment I've borne.
Once a friend but treated now with scorn.
From you whom I deeply care.
Now it seems I am as ethereal as air.

How lucky your Lili Marlene is to have your love. I know this probably will sound a bit out there, or far-fetched, but I can't help but think when someone cares so much for another that it doesn't have some cosmic aura sent to the other, but more than that, in some way have a protection in it as well. I know...hehehe...Go get my head examined, but I feel that, so I feel she is lucky your love (since it is positive) is sending good vibes her way. VERY nice to read.

to you, and your Lili Marlene. Sweet!
Love,
Terri~

Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!

This is so endearing and tragic. Unrequited love can be hell. Hugs, Maggie

as i have said to many friends.... no body is worth the amount of pain you are going through... they said it to me when i was dumped and i listened, looked at myself, and realised that they were so right.
no one is worth pain. no one is worth being depressed over and mostly if they treat you like **** they arent even worth your time...

take these words and think about them...

other than my advice this poem is yet another example of how your writing would move any person to a realisation of how much they are cared for by any one person. keep up the writing and maybe one day show your lil marlene your work... she will realise how much you truly love her..
keep it up.
