If you let me

poem by: Shaffiate Ishmael
Written on Jan 30, 2018

The time will come 
When it will rain on your parade
And the games will stop suddenly
As the lights go out to the arcade 

And you will find yourself in the storm
Waiting for yesterday's bus
Feeling the full force of betrayal
That comes from a broken trust

Loneliness can hurt so much
When you realize the crown was fake
And a heart will feel shattered
After making a terrible mistake

Only a fool would make a girl cry
Only a fool would play with a girl's heart
But sometimes girls don't realize
That tin foil glitter in the dark

and it can look like a knight
easy to the please the eyes
in words that are smooth as silk
a bag of tricks, a master of lies

I don't need a crystal ball
 to see into the future
I can tell what is to come
by looking a person's human nature

girls have a habit sometimes
of choosing the wrong men
so, they are never appreciated
to know what true love meant

but a lost girl 
is never really alone
because there's always a secret admirer
 wishing to make her his own

and if you see me in the shadows
I would be looking at you
Hoping you would take the time
To look at me too

And in my heart 
All I have is love for you
And I just wish 
If you could see me too

And if I get the chance
I would take that opportunity
To capture your wildest imagination
And make it all become a reality

And if you cry
Then I will cry too
Until the well runs dry
So, no more tears will come to you

But my love remains invisible 
Although I stand in front of your eyes
And I am loving you
More than all the stars in the sky

The reason that a man lives
Is to be in the arms of his girl
And once he is in her arms
then he can conquer the world

so I will wait in the shadows
like a guardian angel watching over you
and when the first teardrops fall
I will come to the rescue

Because I know its just a matter of time
The tree will shed its bark
And remove the vail
That kept you in the dark

And you will see the neon sign 
That was lit all the  time
then you will realize the golden dollar 
wasn't even worth a dime

and you will feel hurt
standing alone in the pouring rain
and if you let me
I will love you with all of my heart
And make you believe in love again
