Heart Full of Pain

by Lyric Akanni aged 17

we started with a friendship
now i’m feeling more
you captured me with your eyes
and a smile i really adore
i wake up in the mornings
eager to see you
even though you
don’t know the way
i feel for you
you make me blush
for when i’m scared
to confront you vulnerable
to what you’ll say
when i’m ready to tell you
butterflies in my stomach
when i told you
my feelings are now
more than friendship we endure
i was not expecting the
answer you gave
for it broke my heart
in so many ways
never felt so alone
never felt so afraid
i didn’t know
you just wanted
a friendship
and to keep
it that way
now i feel empty
with a heart full of pain
because the only one
who can cheer me up
is the one who brought
this pain.
