Why.
Just why.
Why do I miss?
Why do I insist
For that one lifetime kiss?
Why do I feel bad
Every moment I stand
From morning, to midnight, to holding her hand?
Is it that I don’t?
That courage shows no face
Imaginary visions of a lifetime in place?
It’s not love or hate,
Or want, or need.
It’s something quite more...Can it be greed?
I stare at her longingly
Waiting for a chance
As an eagle shows cunning, she shows no romance.
But wait, then I realize
What if it’s me?
What if I’m the one with no guarantee
Of a lifetime of happiness?
I know it’s a lie
To even consider a lifeless goodbye.
I shall ask her
Within some time
Why do you avoid me? All I need is a sign!
But I shall receive
No reply in return
Ignoring is painful and as deep as a burn.
I have been given
Many, MANY chances
To build up the courage, and make my advances.
Her lips, her eyes, her teeth, her "sighs"
Distract me from whatever might be a disguise.
Beneath all the pain
She might have endured
I would comfort her, that is for sure!
But no, I cannot!
At least, not right now
Why can’t I do this? Can’t someone tell me how!?
Why, Just why, can’t I be that way?
Fine, I shall suffer forever in eternal misery.
I can’t try tomorrow, it’s only today.
We’ll never be together, so I’ll start to decay.
I put my love in front, for all to display.
But, at least I have friends -- they cannot betray.
Just why.

For those that have read my other poem, "Nervous," this is for the same girl.
I wanted to dedicate a poem to her, one that inspires her and all that she might right with the world, but it slowly transformed into this. A slow realization of what I am going through, and what I want to achieve.
This is also a different beat than my other poems, as I tried to take a more Emily Dickinson approach to the pacing and not having words exactly rhyme, though as you'll see it's more pacing intuitive than the actual substance.
Also, I spent a good amount of my time with the punctuation and paragraph format, so all you see here is intentional, even if it doesn't seem so.
