Helplessly In Love Hoping For The Same

This poem is about falling in love. Hoping for the other person to feel the same way. I wrote this for the woman of my dreams. I hope you enjoy it. It's metaphorically written so you can picture how deeply in love I am and also with the feeling of despair if I can't capture her heart.

The Abyss

Published by Family Friend Poems February 2018 with permission of the Author.

I feel a heaviness on my heart.
It's a mixture of emotions and feelings.
The butterflies overtake my chest.
It only happens when I think of you
I get scared and nervous
Because it's too late for me.
I've fallen deep into the abyss of your love.
I keep sinking deeper and deeper.
It scares me because I'm reaching out for you.
I'm longing for your grip
To pull me up into your arms
Or maybe you'll dive into the abyss of my love.
Maybe we'll sink together.
We can breathe life into each other's souls to survive
Because that's what true love does.
I'm longing for the day
To hear those three beautiful words
That will pierce my heart forever.
To hear "I love you"
Will weld my soul into yours.
You'll be treated like the angel you are
Miraculously created by God Himself.
Reach out for me
Because I'm looking for you
Deep in the abyss of your love.

Reading this poem makes me remember him. My heart honestly and hardly longs for him and it pains me. We talked for days whilst never seeing each other but when we finally met, I felt so, so nervous. It was like I'm actually wishing for the ground to open up and suck me in. I enjoyed our chat and small talks before the day we met each other, but after when we met, things changed. I don't really know why. Maybe it's because I wasn't as beautiful as he expected or something else, but after that day, our chats where no longer interesting. They became so dry. They lacked how it used to be. This is the first time in forever that I have actually been so connected to someone, and the worst of all is that I've only known him for less than a week and my heart feels so heavy now. I just want to talk to him. But it seems he doesn't and I don't know what to do. Your poem just relates to my situation. I love your poem. Thanks for sharing.
