Unknown

Looking at you
I cannot tell
No clue in your face
-In the eyes I cannot see

Brown or Blue?
I cannot know
For if I look in
You will know

Will you hate me?
For loving so quietly?
All these past long years
Without a word to you

I love you
Yet I can’t know you
I’m scared of you
But Why?

Is it better to love
In silence and solitude?
Or to have loved and lost
Because you know?

Are you straight?
Or are you gay?
How do I tell?
There’s no way

That tiny unknown fact
Holds my love for you
Keeps it hidden
Keeps me safe?

With silent love
And tortured tears
-Your unknown admirer

Do you love him to?
