Display Case.

Candid, fully, the first
thing I wished to
say,
Hoping, praying, pleading
that you're okay,

Some way, some day,
back to the center
of your heart,
Waiting, still, even when
I fall apart,

None, not one, ever
felt that way,
Hoping, praying, pleading
that you're okay,

Love, a word, but fits
like a glove,
Above, it seems, looking
down on a dove,

Awake, wishing to sleep,
Smiling, wishing to
weep,
Maybe just a creep trying
to deal with himself,

On a shelf, collecting dust,
there to stay until I
rust,
Please, just please, no
touching the
display,
Hoping, praying, pleading
that you're okay...
