A sonnet you won’t see

I can’t say it out loud, but I love you
Will a poem you won’t see be enough?
I’m writing to have some kind of breakthrough
Because I don’t think I have the right stuff

How do I say all that’s blooming inside
when I think that you won’t see it the same?
How do I face you when I want to hide
and then cannot stop repeating your name?

Sometimes I wish you could see in my head
so I knew you could see the depths of me
You’d understand all the things left unsaid
We could both see everything so clearly

I know I don’t know the right thing to do
At least I know I can write I love you.
