Do You Know?
Do you know
That I know
How it feels…
To not know
What the heart
Yearns for
And why so?
And do you know
That I do know
How you do not know
Why I don’t know
That this mind
In you and me
Keeps playing games
Trapping us
In this endless charade
Of not knowing
That the heart
Knows better…
But alas!
The heart
Doesn’t know
How to vocalize
Those feelings of
Deep despair -
In longing and longing
For eons together
Without a care…
Do you know
That I do not know
How should I tell you so
That it hurts very much
Deep down there in
My paining heart.
And there is this lump
In my throat
And those tears
I fight back
Almost every day
Because I know
That I shouldn’t
Let you know
Why is it that
I keep crying for you,
Forever more…
