Because Of You Poem by Peri Morgan

The very first time,
I looked into your eyes,
I felt a kind of pull,
that took me by suprise.

For instantly I knew,
in love with you I fell,
now there is a special place,
in my heart you dwell.

Although you can not see,
this pain I'm going through,
I know it's not your fault,
yet I feel it because of you.

I can never forgive you,
for you've done no wrong,
I shouldn't of let you in,
I knew it all along.

But I thought I saw,
the beauty of your heart,
I really wish I didn't,
for now we are apart.

It's the undeniable truth,
that eats at me inside,
whenever we're apart,
all I do is hide.

I lock myself away,
from all that can be seen,
because I don't want no one else,
to see the real me.

I opened upto you,
and showed you who I am,
at that very moment,
my feelings burst my emotional dam.

I don't know if it's me,
or my attention that you crave,
but while we are apart,
my hearts like an empty grave.

So now you understand,
what I'm going through,
and all of this is because,
I'm in love with you.
