Dear Ceiling

Dear ceiling,
I've explored your
dim white ridges and valleys
For two hours now and to no avail.
I have not found the
Wisdom filled answers
Of which I seek so desperately.
I could try to
Turn off the semi blinding light that
Sits so perilously above my head
And perhaps then I will see it.
But I fear that
Without that aiding light
I might be blind to the answers.
It would be
So much easier if
you just told me what to do.
Then I would not feel
so lost and confused laying
Here so lonely and without
The one I love so desperately.
Only you can tell
What choices I should make
In regard to the one I love so fully.
Should I tell
Him I love him?
Should I tell
him I like him?
Should I continue
to say nothing at all?
These thoughts are
So exhausting on my
Mind, heart, soul, and body.
I wish to
Sleep so heavily
And forget these pressing questions.
So, I lay
Here thinking
Of his gentle smile,
His easy nature and
His sweet heart that knows not
That I love him so.
Ceiling, I
Must turn to
The right wall
For you have told me nothing.
Perhaps the
Right wall will know
The answers to my questions.
Goodnight.
