The Love Ride Poem by Stephanie Campos

what are you doing all by yourself?
need a hand, need a lift? here, let me help.
let's go out on a ride. you'll be safe with me.
lets explore and discover our hopes and dreams.

you'll see through me as i see through you.
you're heart is shattered, torn in two.
how did that happen? did you let it occur?
then your eyes start to water and you start to stir.

tell me. trust me. pour out your soul.
unravel the feelings of the hatred so cold.
then you begin as you tell me his name.
then continue on and spill out all of your rage

he did that do you? really? someone like you?
so beautiful, smart, .oh, if only you knew.
cant you see? dont you know? look harder, my dear.
my love for you is so far yet so near.

you're still holding on to him. no reason to, though.
i guess it's not easy letting someone go.
he cheated, he played you, and you continue to love.
that's true dedication. some I've seen none of.

but im asking you, begging you, give me a chance.
i promise ill love you. for us, i have plans.
huge ones, darling. ill show you the world.
we will go far, yes, we will soar.

you're still going on about whats-his-face.
i dont care about him. im staring into space.
you yell 'hey! ' and im back and i look in your eyes
you've stopped talking and now youre staring at mine.

your tears have ceased and your lips slowly part.
your eyes open wide and once again you start.
but not about him, and not with annoyance this time.
you realize its that i have some troubles of mine.

you whisper? 'my gosh. you love someone dont you?
theres a problem, however..tell me the truth.
i see it. i sense it. you arent happy, my friend.
let's hear your story. beginning to end.'

this is my chance, to tell you it all.
for once, it wouldn't be nothing at all.
it would be you, my secret admirer.
i lean in to kiss you, my heart full of desire.

i waste no time and i hope you understand.
then i feel the warmth of your precious small hand.
its wraped around mine and a flush of emotions
runs through my whole body. i feel your devotion.

my eyes are shut tight as i await your decision.
my heart skips a beat as i feel the collision.
our lips locked together as well as our hearts
together as one. we should never part.

i love you and that's all i think of
as we exchange feelings of love.

caress me and tell me you feel the same way.
tell me you're here, forever, to stay.
