YESTERDAY I SAW YOU
LIKE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
BUT YOU NEVER EVEN NOTICED
THAT I WAS TRYING TO SCORE.
NOT "SCORE" AS USED BY TEENS TODAY.
I'M TOO OLD FOR THAT
BUT SCORE AS IN SCORE SOME POINTS
LIKE A PLAYER UP TO BAT.
I HAVE TO MAKE AS MANY POINTS
AS THE GAME TIME WILL ALLOW
I HAVE TO TRY TO WIN YOUR HEART
BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW.
I CAN NOT WALK RIGHT UP TO YOU
AND TELL YOU HOW I FEEL
NOT WHEN YOU HAVE THE POWER
TO CRUSH ME WITH YOUR HEEL.
NOT CRUSH ME PHYSICALLY I MEAN
BUT CRUSH MY HEART.
IT COULDN'T TAKE A HIT FROM YOU
NOT EVEN A LITTLE PART.
I GUESS I'LL JUST KEEP SILENT
AND WATCH YOU EVERY DAY
THEN AT DAYS END I'LL GO HOME
AND WASTE MY LIFE AWAY.
I'LL SIT IN LONELY DARKNESS
AND WATCH SPRINGER ON T.V
AND THANK MY STARS THAT I AM NOT REST.
I'LL EAT MY DINNER
AND THINK OF YOU SOME MORE
THEN DRINK MY BOOZE TO CLOUD MY MIND
AND PASS OUT ON THE FLOOR.
I'LL GET UP IN TEH MORNING
AND START THE HURT ANEW.
I'LL GO TO WORK AND DO MY JOB
AND DREAM MY DREAMS OF YOU.
DREAMS ARE ALL I HAVE NOW
THAT'S ALL THERE WILL EVER BE.
I WISH THAT YOU WOULD NOTICE
AND MAYBE DREAM OF ME
BUT YOU'RE TOO FAR BEYOUND MY REACH
YOU'RE THE OCEAN AND I'M JUST THE BEACH.
I WISH WE COULD BE LIKE THEM
JOIN UPON THE SHORE
THEN I COULD FEEL YOUR WARM CARESS
FOR NOW AND EVERMORE.
I HATE THESE GAMES AND GAMES THEY ARE
WHERE WE HAVE TO TRY TO WIN.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HOW WE PLAY
IT HURT'S SO DEEP INSIDE.
WHY CAN'T I TELL YOU HOW I FEEL
WHY DO I RUN AND HIDE?
WHY CAN'T I LOVE AND TELL YOU SO
WITHOUT THE FEAR OF REJECTION?
CAOULD IT BE CAUSE I AM FLAWED
AND YOU'RE JUST PREFECTTION?
SO. I WROTE THIS POEM TO TELL YOU
BUT I KNOW I CAN'T SEND IT
FOR IF YOU KNEW HOW I FELT
YOU'D CRUSH MY HEART AND END IT
BUT I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
EVEN FROM AFAR
AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY SHINNING STAR.
I'LL LIVE MY DREAMS IN MY OWN WAY
IF ONLY IN MY HEAD.
AND I'LL STOP LOVING YOU SOMEDAY.......
SOMEONE WHEN I'M DEAD.
