"To Thine Own Self Be True" - Shakespeare


Please just give me a sign, tell me this is real.
Make me do something so I feel.
Love me and never let me go.
Make my heart start to grow.
Teach me to trust
Make me if I must
Rebuild my smile
But first we’ll have to walk a mile.

So in each other’s shoes we’ll walk.
And only in my dreams we’ll talk.
Until the day comes where it can be real.
And finally we can start to feel.
So close your eyes and prepare to try,
Or keep them open so I know this was a lie.

But until then I will dream.
Even though every time I hear your name I want to scream.
I will dream waiting for that sign.
I will dream until it's time.
I will wait for you.
And I will only hope that you can too.

Eh, what that ----- do? Anyways, this poem seems like a short love story! I love how you formatted the stanzas and started each sentence as if it could lead to its own poem. Great writing and keep it up. ;)
