"You can not change the past, but I daresay, you may learn something from it." ~Time


Your eyes, I don’t often see them

Your spirit is hidden from me

Your voice, I don’t often hear it

Directly pointed at me

Your life, I know nothing of it

Your soul is a mystery

Our persons are so irrelevant

I wish that you would see me

Oh, I wish that you would see me


My eyes, you don’t often see them

My feelings are hidden from thee

My voice, is it too annoying

For you to come speak to me?

My heart is under a shroud so

That not even you can see

And to you it appears like coal

I wish that you could see me

Oh I wish that you could see me


Our eyes, they don’t often meet

But your friendship I value so

So much more than sweets

And so much more than gold

I love you as much as your sisters

And I hope that you love me the same

But our persons are so irrelevant

And I wish that you would see me

Oh I wish that you could see me


The author's comments:

Long story short, feelings happen. There's this dude I like a lot, but the only time we ever speak to each other is when we're completely alone, which has only happened three times in the time I've known him. I know his sisters fairly well. They're two of my only friends, and I doubt I could love them more if I tried, but I can't seem to get close to the brother. He closes up sometimes when I simply walk past. But you aren't reading this for my problems. I hope you enjoy the poem!
