Before its Too Late

From a far distant, he watches her smile,
Whether it be up close or a mile.

He follows her night and day,
He can never find the right words to say.

He watches over her, makes sure she's fine,
He stalks her beneath her balcony at the late hour of nine.

He would want nothing more than to have her, to caress,
His feelings he does surpress,
His heart is full of so much distress,
If he doesn't release those feelings, soon he'll go into cardiac arrest.

Its not that hard to tell someone how you feel,
Its really not that big a deal.

All you have to worry about is if they feel the same way,
That's what he has on his mind night and day,
He just can't come up with the words to say.

Till one day he just couldn't take it any more,
So his soul he did let soar,
Never bearing his feelings from the core.

But the funny thing was that this girl did love him too,
How much he never knew,
Now she doesn't know what to do,
Where to turn too or to who.

So now she's left alone without the guy she loves because she didn't take the lead,
Alone, and dying inside, she is now left to bleed,
The pain you have inside cannot compare to how much you feed,
All this bad luck and mis deed,
No longer being able to generate a seed,
And as you continue this poem, just read.

You will come to find that this girl who is so miserable,
You will now know,

This sad creature is me,
Now do you see?
This is the way it'll always be,
Alone, without you, just me.

So act now before you become full of hate,
Do something before its too late.
