I envy the artists
Who, in a moment’s time, can
Capture motions
And hold them hostage on a canvas
With a few strokes of brushes
Or pencils
Or charcoal,
They can take a face
Any face, and
Immortalize it
Surely, I know your face
Better than my own
But the brush is clumsy
In my hand
So I stare, and my mind creates
Its own painting
That I’ll never really see
I envy the artists

I envy the poets
That take up words that could
Never belong
And bring them together in a dance
There have been many of these
Poets
Wordsmiths
Magicians, expressing emotions
Difficult to grasp
With a whisper
I rarely think in sonnets
Or have those words on hand
Thought the pencil touches paper
I don’t know what to say
So I imagine, and compose
In my heart, with
Words I could never express
I envy the poets

I envy the lovers
Who are together, no matter
Where I look
So in love that they can’t see me wondering
For them, there is always another
To hold
To lean on
They know, without words,
How they feel and, yes,
How they love
I hardly known my own emotions, but
I am plagued with a disease
Is it a school-girl infatuation
Or love?
So I dream, and fear, that maybe
I do love you
And yet...

Somehow

In my core

I know

In the end

My heart will be broken

I envy the lovers.

It hurts, how much I feel. And I don't think I'll ever tell him. I wish... if what I've started to believe is true, I wish he'd tell me. So that I can stop this now, before it gets any worse. I've had crushes before, but this isn't a crush... or at least, it's more violent than any one I've had before.

He plagues me. I don't want him, but I want him. I sort of feel like I need him.

I don't know what love is. Not at all. It's easy to fake it in stories, you know - very easy. Especially if it's characters who were in love before you got to them. But I'm no character. I don't understand how humans' emotions work.

Whoever got the idea that emotions are fun should be shot. It hurts to breathe.

Yes... I knew. I knew all along. My heart would be broken.

I agree. I find it one of the most easy things to do but whenever someone talks to be about getting a bf I totally freak out. o.o;; it's like. Erm...I don't...think so....I mean. I've a couple guys confess to me, and it actually freaked me out. I mean I guess there wasn't anything wrong (that I know of anyway) but I just about ran int he other direction. And when I did get a seirous BF...The only reason I was comforable around him was because he was like my brother. So it goes without needing to pointed out that that did not work out....


Anyway beauitful poem. 83 I might actually switch one of you're features XD. For some reason I enjoy you're poems more than I do you're stories. There's always more to you're poems than to you're stories...or maybe it's because it's not based off of someone else's ideas (like fanfic)

^^ I don't really like my poems... they're a little too unstructured, you know? But I'm glad other people like them.

I've had crushes before, but none of those were reciprocated. I've had guys who I think had a crush on me, but the very idea scared me. Now... I feel like my heart's going to explode. I really don't know what love is like, and I don't know if I really do love him, and I don't know if he'll ever love me back, but... man. I feel like I would die if I ever saw him with anyone else. This is weird and I don't know how to explain it.

Seriously. Whoever came up with love should be shot, too.

I envy the writers
Who can,
With a swift flourish of a fine-boned hand
Give birth to ideas,
Thoughts,
Feelings,
That live and breathe
Upon their simple page :hug:

You are fantastic. I just...wow. You are an artist, do you know that? Artists don't necessarily paint. You're one of the bests artists I will ever know.

And I know what you mean. I've felt the same way about someone, though I didn't really want to admit it. But I don't feel things the same way you do. You feel so profoundly. And I love you for it.

Thanks so much. I always feel so much better after talking to you, you know. You're so much more amazing a friend than I ever really could hope for or deserve. I love you, too.

You really are quite brilliant, no one can deny it:

Beautiful, you envy the poets but in reality you are one, one of the best may I add.

When ever my friends are going on about how they're dating so and so and how she dated him when she only met him a week ago. I honestly can't comprehend how they can do that. I mean to me they would have to be someone I could trust completly and utterly before they got that close to me.

There's one guy for me, known him as long as I can remember, he's always been there. Put up with me in my bad moments (trust me I could really be a bitch) and still be there smiling at the end, easy to talk to and one of my closest friends, something to lean on in dark time who understands me like no-one else. I trust him completly and utterly, beyond anyone else (and it takes alot to get that close to me, seriously I mean I'm so antisocial that to even get through to me you really have to work at getting to know me and then after that you have to keep going to maintain that friendship) but coming back to see him we can start off as if we never left off which is something I can do with no-one els, there's never been a gap.

There's been something there for so long I can't pick out when it started. And I when girls comment on one guy or another I just don't see what their staring at. *shrugs* I don't know if this is because of him or because I'm just so antisocial I've missed these things.

Just before I moved away as school ended a couple of friends managed to get us to confess and then over the phone later that neither of us were bother
ed me were seen as a "couple", seems he felt the same way.

We just left it at that really. I've seen him as often as I can since I moved (maybe once or twice a year if I'm lucky) Always worrying that someething will have changed to push us apart or change how we see each other.

He's the first and only. I moved 4 years ago now and nothing seems to have changed. Almost as if we're on the edge of something. If we lived nearby maybe it would develop. Doesn't bother me much. But friends over in Salisbury don't know about him.

But I can understand what you mean about him plaguing you, he comes to mind at the oddest of moments and I start fretting that when I next see him that....well..something will have changed drasticly . Now I don't know. But I can relate to how you feel in some way at least. But what you do is down to you, to be honest if my friends hadn't been about I'd never have said anything to him and would have missed out on so much. So think carefully about it, I wouldn't want you to miss out on something like this.

.....sorry to have rambled on so much.

o.o;; but I think god came up with the whole 'love' concept. So that might be a little easier said than done....XD

Oh yeah? Well that is a difficult place to be in._. I have yet to have a problem like that come about.(and hopefully it won't...)

Eh, well poems don't have to be 'structured' Do you think Shel Silverstein structured his? (lolz jk) I love silverstein's poems. ^_^

XD Well, if it's God, I guess I can let Him slide...

Meh. Story o' my life. But I won't be surprised if it doesn't turn out well. XD It never really has.

I LOVE SHEL SILVERSTEIN.

I really wish you luck with this, do you have friends that know him and know about how he sees you? I hope it all works out... always wandering if he's going to find someone other than yourself is terrible, especially if you don't see them that often.

You'll always have people that love you!
