This peice was originally titled "In love, or in love with being in love?" After reading over it a few times, I realized the mistake of the title and renamed it with a better suiting one.
My heart thumps heavily in my chest Your name on my screen as I await your words You've distracted my thoughts from a broken heart And stitched together it's shattered remains.
I stare patiently at the little box That contains our simple conversation Speaking of mediocre concerns Such as school starting and books.
And I await you to take up my innocent offer Of meeting for the first time "The movies sound great but what to see?" You actually accept my invitation
And though we haven't met yet for real I've seen your beautiful face Raven black hair and amazing hazel eyes Feminine yet strong beyond grace.
Yet I fear when we meet will it work just as well? Will you be disappointed in what you see? My parents can't know of our budding hope For us as two females they wouldn't accept.
But who cares about restrictions Or their homophobic fancies Because I feel as if I've known you forever And I will have you at their consent or none.
Because while I'm afraid of all this It's only because I've been hurt But I already put my faith in you Could you have actually melted my crystalized heart?
Could I be falling in love?

Would that at age 18, I could have put into my anguish, hopes, desires...as well as you. You have such an old spirit, and such a wonderful, earnest way with words. No fears, no worries...alas, brave, is all I can say. I truly enjoyed reading this poem..
Debra, this poem lets the reader feel all the emotions you're going through..
real love is not merely spoken with words, but follwed up with actions.

Quite a mature portrayal for someone of limited years. *smile* I didn't mean that as a put-down, by the way. Your poem is very expressive of your hope, your hurt, and your resolve. I wish you well...
