He Hides
written by Lothiriel07:46 PM 12/16/04I love him without distraction or disappointment
I feel what he feels when he is not near
I see his hair fall lazily over his eyes, as if hiding
from the world that has embezzled and gambled his life away
He thinks that he is not worth the time
nor effort of loving
He believes he was placed here to be mistreated
He still holds a high crown of regard over himself
He still likes to look in the mirror
and goes about his daily routine, bedazzling the crowds
I tell him often that I love him
He smiles and keeps talking without pause
I tell him that I need him
He does not think he's good enough
Or maybe he's just not ready
Often times I fear that I overwhelm him
With fondness and compassion that he is immune to
Hoping that someday, after so long
He will glimpse the truth behind my words
He awakens every morning, unknowing
I do not know that he believes in me
I watch as his hands cover his face in frustration
There it goes again, the phone rings interrupting him
He pauses and sighs, mumbles incoherently
Pretends that he's not at home
Often times I fear that I overwhelm him
With fondness and compassion that he is immune to
Hoping that someday, after so long
He will glimpse the truth behind my words
I don't think he's ready
To understand what all he deserves |
