Unspoken Affections: Part-VII

The Story Behind the Lines

I had this idea that i should write about an intense stare with someone in a moment, which made my cheeks turn red and i wanted this poem to be something intimate that two people's share but i don't know why i turned into a sad one where the muse of the poem is actually in pain. i think maybe it's because i love sad things.

Unspoken Affections: Part-VII

staring into your eyes but 10 second seemed bit harder

hot flush from your stare and i felt my cheeks grew warmer

your face slacking happiness and heart covered in dark gray

i wanted to whisper you 'my love' and tell you i'm here for you

putting your faith in me, you uttered your agonizing account

if i tell you 'i love you', would you let me share your pain?

What does this poem means to me?

I love writing sad poems and sometimes kill a character in that poem or a story that i'm writing. This one captures the one of the most breathtaking feeling that sparks something very beautiful which can end up in either as roses or ashes. I love this poem because i love who i penned this about. Putting your trust in somebody and tell your agonizing account is not an easy thing to do. I wish i could just tell how much love i have in store.

The line that is my favorite in this poem has to be the "if i tell you 'i love you', would you let me share your pain?" because it's just beautiful for me. Most of the people's who have a smile on their face and seems like they must have a great life are wearing a mask, hiding a painful reality they have to face every morning when they wake up and there's nothing they can do about it. So the plea in this poem is to share the pain of someone you fancy and make them smile again, without them actually faking it.

What do you think?

have you ever felt this feeling where you wanna tell someone how much you fancy them but can't tell them right away out of the fear of rejection? share your thoughts in the comments!!
