(2004) Us Poem by Deana Rode

You're looking at me again
I see it in your eyes
emotions that are so apparant
yet you hide it behind your smile...

What do you fear,
the pain of losing a friend
the agony of getting broken
the madness of being alone again...

I feel it when you're near,
but don't you see I fear it too?
the uncertainty and unknowingness
of what could possibly be...

Let's agree to close our eyes
and let our hearts decide this time
for maybe that's what our problem is
we try too hard to think things out..

I'll reach out my hand to you
and put everything on the line
if you feel the same for me
take hold and never let go...
