Faceless Friend

You are faceless in my eyes l open them wide but alas l hear your voice, l feel your touch But your expression l fail to see You walk with me you hold my hand You even make me laugh Still my heart is not fulfilled l cannot figure out who you are At times you are as perfect as an angel At times your grip is too harsh and my hands are bruised Show your face to me Let me be the one who judges it If you are scared l might reject you leave it up to me to decide. My heart is not settled when l have half of what you are l lie awake at night wondering who the hell you are A dark cloud descends on my head and it rains on me Do you know how much it hurts to try to reason But have no ground to reason on You are faceless in my eyes And l cant take it anymore

Powerful Poem! I love the title and the use of facelessness to describe the suspense of love. SMASHING! You could be the world's most eloquent poet! By the way, love the simplicity and power of your images!
