Poetics By Jade

I was encouraged to let out my feelings,
To tell you your in my head,
Yet even though in person,
Not a single word has been said,

I wasn’t sure how to say it,
To tell you how perfect you are,
To tell you that in the darkness,
You shine like a star,

I was so afraid of what you would think,
So afraid of what you’d say,
But I knew I had to tell you,
That your amazing in every way,

There’s so many ways to put it,
So how could I begin,
I just dove right into the water,
Not knowing if I’d sink or swim,

So I sent it in a text,
I sent it without agenda,
I sent it knowing you don’t feel the same,
Leaving my heart for you to dismember.
