Worth Getting Hurt For Poem by Shilesha Johnson

Every time I look at your BBM picture I melt
Thinking about you makes me feel ways
I never expected could be felt
From your lips, up to your eyes
I Gaze and dream of the day you let me inside
From your eyes back down to your lips
As the days go on
It gets harder for me to resist
From your lips straight inside your heart
I want to take every step with you
Make every moment ours
Become one and create art
There’s something about you
Everything maybe
Everything that forces me to want you like no other
It drives me crazy
When I try to find things that are wrong with you
It automatically pushes me closer to
Because there isn’t anything that you do
or anything that you represent
That I can’t deal with or comprehend
There’s one thing that I request
That despite your prior thoughts
You’ll reconsider and allow us to progress
& move someplace forward
Cause I could want you forever
And you might not ever know it
There’s so much you need to know
But it gets hard for me to show it
I don’t want to feel the way I do inside
But if there’s one thing I have come to realize
It’s that the way I feel is for real
It’s not a temporary for the moment type of deal
You’re something so much more
And even if my biggest fear comes true in the end
At least I got hurt by something that was worth getting hurt for
So I’d understand
