Stolen away,
Beating... Beating...
Taking a breath,
Denial weeps for us.
Against my skin...
Hidden inside,
Are we really nothing?

Softly this heart longs...
For you...
What lies in your eyes?
Oh, my love...
Remember who I am,
So gently falling...
Captured.

Whisper again,
Are all your secrets screaming?
Begging...
Turn around,
Face the fear of Passion!
Silent...

Is it love that you're thinking of when we are quiet?
Falling...
Silent...
Again.

&quot;There&rsquo;s no such thing as true love, just spurts of insanity&mdash;falling over and over again, thinking that won&rsquo;t happen to me&quot;

Oh my, this is amazing! I can personally relate more to this poem. I've always held the belief that silence contains the secrets in life. I feel like this poem when I'm with my best friend on the bus, we talk for a while but then he kind of abruptly stops and just remains silent as he stares out the window listening to his music. I always wonder what hes thinking. And I think you put it into words, thank you!

Thank you, Chase (: And YES. That most definitely IS possible. To love someone who doesn't know you do.

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.<br /> <br /> Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.<br /> <br /> A poem is never finished, only abandoned.<br /> <br /> Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

I really like the stanza that says "Softly this heart longs... For you... What lies in your eyes? Oh, my love... Remember who I am, So gently falling... Captured." You just write so beautifully. Definitely 5/5
