Tension of opposites...

I wear my heart on my sleeve,

That’s the way I am,

And you keep your thoughts hidden,

The guessing drives me insane!!

I would want to scream from the rooftops,

And let the whole world know,

What you mean to me,

And why I love you so.

You wear that cloak of secrecy,

And keep me in the blue,

I wonder if you let yourself in,

Or are kept wondering too!

I wish you'd say you love me too,

Wouldn't that be really nice?

Wonder what you’d say to that?

I know you’d roll your eyes!

It makes you feel trapped,

What liberates my heart and me,

I wonder if these emotions,

Are so alien to thee?

I'm hanging on to nothing,

To what can never be,

A juxtaposition of thoughts,

But that is who is me!

This tension of opposites,

Has me tied up in knots,

Breaks me into a thousand fragments,

And yet, adding up to naughts.
