lyrical Ballads

with all this talk of the 'Romanticism' in 'Lyrical Ballads', it got me thinking. Maybe I could give this romantic poetry stuff a go, after all Shakespeare and Wordsworth seemed to have found it OK. so I wrote a short poem, it's nothing extravagant but it's something i quickly threw together, enjoy! =)

p.s. please give your opinion on this, good or bad. It has no title, so possible ideas will be strongly welcomed.

You make me smile on the inside,
And on the out,
Your beauty unmatched,
No doubts about that;

But to tell you I 'Love You',
I do not know,
Fear that you may say 'No',
Making me question, even though;

I love you beyond all compare,
And do hope that one day we can share,
A bond beyond being friends,
In which you and I will be together till the end.

Nice Beau! Here's mine:

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in

How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
