About the Poem

This poem was written about a guy friend of mine whom I've had a crush on for months. Every time we talk it's almost like he's taunting me, as if he knows I want him and likes knowing that I can never have him.

Lately I've tried telling myself that I'm over him, that I should move on to more realistic things. But every time I say that, I'm given another reason to rekindle my desires for him - the way he might look at me, or laugh with me, or smile at me in his peculiar way. It's eerie sometimes, and I know that it's just me seeing things I want to see. But maybe it isn't.

Whatever it is, it keeps me dreaming, and sometimes my dreams are all I've got.

What It Is You Do To Me

by Bobby Lincoln

There you sit
smiling
And it's you I watch
wanting
But you don't even know
What it is you do to me
So I keep on watching
and wanting
as I bleed

Every time I look at you
Every time I talk to you
Every time I smell you
My heart continues
melting
And I am forever
dreaming

Whenever you pass me by
Whenever you catch my eye
I feel like I want to cry
Because of what it is you do to me

Your eyes
gleaming
And your lips
pleading
And your hands
exploring
While my heart remains
bleeding

Every time you look at me
I wonder what it is you see
Every time you talk to me
And I hear that beautiful voice
My knees get weak
My stomach flutters
My chest collapses
My neck hairs tingle
And I stop breathing
Just in that moment in time
When you do what it is you do to me

As I sit here
yearning
I imagine you
sleeping
And I want to hold you endlessly
Forever in my arms for eternity
I'll continue
dreaming
As long as you are
living
breathing
being

i have a guy whom i love a lot the thing is dat we r in true luv and ur poem did remember me of d first time i saw him. i too write poems on my own wen in mood and so do understand the pain and feelings in our poem. it is really on top of the world. people like u and me keep the magic of luv in words expressed.

Wow, this poem really portrays what I'm going through right now with one of my best guy friends. I like him so much, but the difference is that he knows. He's all I want, and all I can't have. "Nothing tastes as sweet as what you can't have" -Teddy Gieger

I almost cried reading this poem. From a scae of 1-10 I give it a 20. It is exactly how I feel. I think about him 24/7. He said he liked me a long time ago. But now it seems as he was just messing with my head.
