``sephora`` Poem by Patricia Etienne

Just before dawn sitting on the balcony, heavy winds blow with gravel dust smear my eyes into tears.
Then, thinking of you
Asking myself the unanswered question
Why do I love you so?
In the mist of the night, thoughts racing through my head, wake up sweat and heavy breathe
Then, thinking of you
Asking myself the silly question
Why is my heart beating so hard for you?

If sky could speak, perhaps my only question would be answered
Because above...
I raise my head each time I have wondered
About that...
My heart is so happy whenever I see you,
But then again...
I rather turn my head the other way
Knowing...
It pierces my heart to the extreme just to have this feeling onward.

Many times I have felt for girls,
But then...
Cannot compare a soul to how I feel for you now
Many times...
I've heard my friends complain of love that hurts,
But then...
I didn't think this could ever happen to me
Simply...
I thought that I could control my heart about anything!

Now, Sephora is the girl my heart's yearning for
My remaining question...
Does she feel the same way I feel about her?
O' worthless I feel,
By exposing this capsule of words
Unexplainable...
When a poor man's heart is consumed with feelings
Reality is...
To break silence in a serene mode, before driving to the insane road.
