A Diminishing Chance
By: Xaverii Jade

I see you standing there
Your hair blowing in the breeze
And I long to touch you
To hold you
To ease your pain
You hide them so well
Your emotions
No one can see that you are crying inside
It is not obvious
To anyone save myself
I've known you so well
In the few short years since we have met
It seems that I have known you for my entire life
Maybe before my life…
Look at me, I'm gushing
Pathetic in your presence
A shriveled slave, desperate for your love
This is what you have reduced me to
I should hate you
You made me show emotions
That I have worked for years to lock away
To hide deep inside of me
I threw away the key
You found it though
A needle in a haystack
And opened me up to a galaxy
That I didn't even know was possible to experience
And you did this all with only
One warm smile
Though I long to loathe you
I cant
I love you
I don't know how it happened
Or when
I only know that I have these feelings now
And even though I am following my heart
And not my mind or reason
I must act now
Before my chance passes.
