Only you

For you,
I held my arms wide open.
Only you,
I ignored the words spoken.

The first time,
You looked at me,
I wished you were mine.

The first touch,
I started to tingle,
maybe there was a blush.

The first kiss,
i melted inside,
Made an unspoken wish.

When you held me,
All my thoughts collapsed,
Knew you felt it.

For you,
I held my arms wide open.
Only you,
I ignored the words spoken.

But, one night,
You looked away,
My heart got a fright.

All the calls,
Went unanswered,
Do you hear my tear as it falls?

You made my blood cold,
Ripped out my soul,
My whole body made a fold.

Everytime i cry,
When my mind says your name,
Inside i know im about to die.

For you,
I held my arms wide open.
Only you,
I ignored the words spoken.

But,
At the end...

Only you,
Could hurt me that way.
Only you,
Could make me slowly fade away.

RE: Only You

Hi, I thought it sounded a bit song-like, with a chorus. I thought it was very good. I feel sad if it is based on a true experience. You made a nice comment on one of my poems so I thought I'd return the favour. Very good.
