Lost Poem by Sareeah Keelyn

You make me laugh
When I'm determined to be cross
You see right through my lies
I cannot despise
you
No matter what I do
You hurt me
anyone can see
my feelings for thee
I want to be free
of my pain
of my shame
Foolish I feel
My mind reel
Love you
I do
In spite
of everything right
and sane
You cannot be tame
Doomed to love who
love does not freely give
Until my heart
is prepared to rip apart
Over who knows not
my heartstrings rot
Keep hope
or lose faith
Become a ghost
a pale wraith
Happiness I shall attempt
avoiding heart's contempt
