Running Away From Love

by Ashleigh Skye   May 25, 2006


He's been chasing me for a while,
I'm not blind but I continue to run,
however my mind is suddenly changing,
maybe giving in would be more fun.

We could finally be together,
if only I wasn't so shy,
choking when I try to express myself,
about the feelings I always deny.

I know things would be simple,
but I don't know where to start,
don't know how to put into words,
the feeling that's in my heart.

I know exactly how to avoid it,
how to hide when it rears it's head,
but embracing it's a different story,
putting words to everything I've left unsaid.

How do I go from hiding it,
to showing exactly how I feel,
do I come forth like an explosion,
or slowly like a savored meal?

Do I care what people think,
all the questions that will arise,
and can I handle his rejection,
if his feelings have vaporised.

My feet are getting tired,
should I give in to this chase?
Or should I take my feelings,
to their final resting place.

Running away from my feelings,
scared to open the door,
abandoned by my common sense,
unable to ignore it anymore.

    "to showing exact ally how I feel," no space between 'exact ally' should be 'exactly'

    This poem sums up fairly neatly a feeling I'm sure people all over the world have felt. I don't know if advice on the subject is applicable, since the subject of the poem could very well be fictional, or non-personal, but I always felt like expressing feelings honestly and completely to people you trust is probably one of the more important things in life.
