Him
by Zamantha Udaundo | Grade 8
With the brownest eyes and softest red lips,
Answered with a beating and screaming heart,
I question everyday, “Could I be his?”
Though I force distance, he’s always a part.
His portrait defines perfected beauty,
His touch, his love, I long for, beg and cry,
Saying, “No,” would indeed be a pity,
Yet my pride, I raise and my words do lie.
“Does he feel the same?” I often question,
“Do thy eyes look at me the exact way?”
When I’m with him, there’s passion and tension,
And I think about how he makes my days.
Was never someone else, was always him.
It is still him, and will always be him.
