Lost! Poem by Kayla LeBlanc

I can feel him next to me,
putting his arm around me
making me safe
whispering in my ear 'I Love You'
I silently smile.

I place my hand on his
and we become one,
I can feel his heart beat
against my back,
our breathing synchronized.

He pulls me closer
assuring me he's there
in more ways then one,
my heart skips,
butterflies flutter,
I cant believe he's mine.

I calm myself before I turn my head.
It seemed too good to be true,
as I clear my head
and turn my neck ever so slightly,
everything faded away.

I look down to find my hand
empty on my hip.
The heart beat against my back,
Gone.
Safe turned to disappointment.

Once again I fail to keep my
hopes and dreams locked away,
in a secret place,
I always hope never to find,
but my need for him will always win.

A poker face will never fool the heart.
