Tatiana Dejesus Poet Free verse

The Closet

Beauty in disguise
Sitting so close, she's shy
I want to talk to her
But I'm shy as well

Her eyes look scared,
but also captivating.
Always changing color,
moss, sand or hazel brown

Can she like me?
Is that even a possibility?
Hope swells inside of me...
It's dangerous

Because I know that
This shy, beautiful and captivating
girl will never see me.
The same way i see her

And this hope that I have
Will eventually crush me
and push me further into
The closet

Shirley Long February 24, 2012 at 9:29 PM Nice love poem, I enjoyed reading it. Gabby Keegan February 28, 2012 at 1:42 PM love poem...? sure its about being in love or at least having a crush, in a way, but the main point is how its hard. how it can hurt. not about the actual emotion of love, really. and how being gay or even bi is so complcated because there are alot of things that can harm u -words, people, just looks u might get- but thats only what i read into it.
