I’m just standing in the way

You don’t know what you make me feel

It’s worse than fire, than burning steel

But don’t wait for me, you’re free, you know

But I never thought I would let you go

Please, leave, don’t wait for me

But know that you got a dog

Stay the furthest from me

Or you’ll get lost into the fog.

I’ll slow you down and I want you to be happy

Even if it means you leaving me

Patiently I’ll bide my time

And maybe one day you’ll be mine

Till this imaginary day I dread

I’ll be there, crying and shivering

Thinking of you, almost dead

Beaten by you without fighting

I wish I had tamed you

So as to play with you

I wish I had stolen your freedom

To lead you to my home.

I’d like to kill what makes you anguished

To see solace on your face

I’d like to see your fire extenguished

And put mine at its place.

I simply would like to

Have the right to watch you

Whenever and wherever I want to

Have the right to look at you

Still in the shadows, only being a shadow

Never moving, never talking

Only gods and devils know

That I’ll be suffering

Maybe we won’t see eachother anymore

Maybe some day... If gods are kind

This day, I only have to hope for

But I’ll just be a forgotten memory on your mind.

I don’t hope for anything from you

Just watching you, silently

And from afar, I don’t want you to see me

You can’t know I’m dying for you.

I have to go away

I would just stand in the way.

English is not my first language, and It would be good to leave me a review to see if I have a hope in English poetry. I’d like to thank one of my friend, Gerwynn, who corrected it. Thanks man !

See you soon,

Ripper...
