turn around

i've seen that unpleasant frown

turn around

i know you'd rather avoid me

turn around

i know what's in your heart

turn around

it's time to get to know me

turn around

i'll wait here all day if i must

turn around

don't worry if it's not perfect

turn around

i just want to see you smile

turn around

i just want to hear you laugh

turn around

you can only run away for so long

turn around

i want to finally make peace

turn around

let me help make things easier

turn around

let me fix things up with you

turn around

i don't want to watch you cry

turn around

i don't want to say goodbye

turn around

i want you to believe in yourself

turn around

i want you to know that you're strong

turn around

i want you to know how much i love you

turn around

turn around

About the Creator

poetryinwaiting

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
