Telling ya'll not to read didn't work, so whatevs

  1. I was dumb enough to fall in love
    Slowly, silently
    With my lips seared tight

    To watch my affection grow
    and become something I didn't know

    Sure, I'm still me
    too damned stubborn not to be
    But I can see what I'm doing

    The subtle little things
    just for a hint of attention

    the little favors
    that I now see
    might misconstrue my intentions

    I'm helping someone else
    yet feeling pain myself

    But then again
    I've always been slighltly masochistic
    And never one for simplistic

    They all tell me not to think
    just do
    cause the heart knows what's true

    But even my heart will flutter
    and plead that my lips not a word mutter
    even as my brain screams to do something

    but I couldn't do that
    that'd be rushing out on a limb
    and I'm a wee to afraid for that

    So, I'll just sit back
    As I realize just how stupid I'm being
    And how oblivious my affection is for not seeing

    I am dumb enough to fall in love
    Slowly
    Silently

    Goddangit how I want to scream

    Sorry, but that thread title made me want to read it. :)

    I liked your poem a lot. It sounds like my autobiography last year.
