I'M DYING

You come.
And me of my words rob.
You look at me once,
And my heart begins to throb.

You smile,
And all else is lost to my eyes.
You see me smile back,
But cannot hear my sighs.

You share,
And I know not what to do.
You know, yet cannot feel
The pain I'm going through.

You speak,
And I intently listen.
You look at me, but cannot see
In my eyes the tears that glisten.

You hear,
And I know not what to say,
You see my mouth move,
But in my mind your sweet words play.

You feel
I'm happy, and don't know that I'm lying.
You cannot sense it, but every time I smile,
Deep within I'm dying.
