Could I Be Yours ?

Desires well up in my heart,
Rising as water rises in a fountain,
Hidden from all except me
As I seek to be in your presence.

Your words falling on my ears as a fallen tree
Creating tremors that quake my being
That my personality shivers because of the unknown
Though it craves for closeness with yours.

This desire of closeness with you
Is consuming my personality
Eating deep into the core of my cells
That I am raving as a mad man within
But outwardly calm as if I am indifferent.

My heart is crying more than my eyes
Tears unseen turning to flood
That I fear it would drown in this self-made disaster
Never to be rescued by anyone.

How can I get over this burden in my heart?
How can I be yours as a friend not an item?
How can I let you know what is going on in my mind?
I want to speak...
But I can't because I am shy.
