A Feeling

This is a poem about some recent feelings I had for a fellow camp member.......

My stomach twirls, twists, and turns
I sit here feeling truly torn
Should I share with you my secret?
If I told would you believe it?
How did this ever come to be?
How did this happen, I just can’t see
These feelings sprung, days ago, just over three
God can’t help me, only you hold the key
To stop this pain, to set me free
My heart, it aches so badly
This feeling might be called love sick
But in truth it’s like a parasitic tick
It eats at me night and day
Something to you I need to say
Love is not what I would call it
But then again, perhaps a bit
The pain so bad, something must be done
I know that this would be no fun
My stomach knotted, fingers numb
I write this poem to the one
Perhaps “the one” is too much
But saying it makes it such
With all truth told and secrets out
There is nothing I can do about
The way you feel towards me
If you feel that it shouldn’t be
Then I would gladly stand aside
But know my arms are open wide.
