#96 I've Been Caught

This was hard for me to write because it was not pre- written and I usually use a lot of imagery. This poem is about a guy I've been around for a year now. He doesn't know how I feel about him. No matter how much I'd like to tell him I wouldn't never do anything to jeopardize our friendship. This poem shows that someone can hurt you with out knowing, but keep you coming back for more.

I've Been Caught

by Teresa Fiehn

I've been caught swimming in his eyes again.
Holding my heart so it doesn't break in his presence.
I've been known to have to steady my breathing at his smile,
as my own returns with red cheeks.
As the subject of my never ending sentences, he calls upon pauses that
should not be there.
As my friend, he shares.
His heart cannot mention my name.
While my heart can only scream his.
I've been seen caressing his skin with my gaze.
Memorizing his shape.
I've dreamt of how his lips round his words.
As I replace friendship with love.
My heart hangs heavy when I hear his voice.
My pulse races with his scent.
As he walks past, her on his arm.
Unlike any of the others, he kills me and keeps me alive.

Your love moves me, It compounds my every thought, my desire. I wish this was about me, that you desired me so. Instead I will cling to your promises.

I only wanted to write to ones that really touched me, and this one did. I really love it, maybe because I can relate, sadly. Thank you for showing me that I am not alone. This is beautiful.
