Holding Hands in South Dakota

Folder: 
love crap

I know how you feel for him

I know how you feel for her

I spend all day, tearing myself apart

I wish I knew what your feelings for me were.

Like a young middle school girl

I see you, daydream, scribble your name

I hear your voice, want to look

but I can't stand to face the shame.

I open up and let you in

in taking you in, I give you myself

my day has become you

like there is nothing else.

The source of your voice approaches

with someone else's face

I need to take a trip somewhere

somehow escape this place.

I want to go to South Dakota

but I don't know if I can

I want everything to be a dream

I want to hold your hand.

Until then, I'm alone, standing apart

and it seems that while I'm waiting

you'll be holding my heart.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I hadnt written a rhyming poem in a while because I had been depending so much on the rhyme that I ruined my message, and I'm very happy with what I've been writing this year, but when I go to write something, rhyme is the first thing that strikes me, and I like the way this turned out. A lot of the rhymes are slanted which helps in not take over the piece, but yeah. It's almost halfway decent. =]
