Friends?

Why does she fight it?

These feelings she certainly has

I see it when she closes her eyes

Hear it in the catch of her breath

Sense it when she is so close

Would she but see?

What’s there before her

Perceive the racing of my heart

The blood coursing through these veins

Pounding the rhythm we might share

I bide my time

Fill inked pages with angst

Yearn in dark dreams

She has the key

Can unlock this mortal coil
