On another site that is shutting down I wrote this poem about Olivia and Elliot's feelings for each other throughout the seasons of SVU and OC. Titled "I Let It Slip" for a prompt.

~~~~~~~

All this time I've loved you

But I never let it show

I think that in your own heart

This feeling you mutually know


I'll die for you and strive for you

Can't get your voice from my head

The thought of letting you down

Is even too much to dread


Through hell and back I carried you

Yet you kept me alive the whole time

Is it the other way around?

You held my burdens when I thought I'd die


Now you know my heart's intent

But is it what you wanted to hear?

I've longed to hold you and never let go

Always have you near


I think I don't need to tell you

What you already know

Can't you see in my eyes

I want this to be more?


You left me feeling alone

But now you're back again

So many things I wish to tell you

That should've already been said


I know you more than most

You know me more than the rest

Maybe it should stay this way

Maybe love is not for the best?
