Hidden Beneath

Pen and paper do not compare
To what I am left to bare

I try to write what my heart is telling me
But it's as if I begin to freeze

Sitting beside you
I can write anything I dream to

The days we are apart
Something pulls from within my heart

I am blinded by the sight of you
But I struggle to hold back what I want to do

Every attempt to say my real thoughts
Always come up short and stop

But hopefully, soon in time
I will come to understand this heart of mine

And you will know just how I feel
Because everything with you and me
Has always been real
