you
you're aching, and tragicly breaking.
living your life in dispair.
your praying, and you're waiting,
for someone who doesnt care,
he was never really there.

you're burning, and you're yearning,
for him to come through,
stop wasting all your time on him,
and just start loving you.
ty all so much for likeing my poem im very flattered! :D

When you say "her" do you mean me?
During your lonely nights, about whom do you dream?

Does your breath catch if I'm standing too close?
Is my affection a drug on which you can overdose?

There's something about you that I just can't let go of,
God only knows why I keep sticking my hands in the flames.
I know full well that it will eventually burn me,
but I'm still drawn in all the same.

I'm tired of noticing every little thing you do,
hoping with everything that I have it's some type of sign.
I want to be able to finally stop guessing and wondering,
and know for sure if you're ready to just be mine

Who would have thought that of all people,
I would be so **** attracted to you.
But I wouldn't have it any other way,
and hopefully you feel the same way too.

Light me like a fire,
and extinguish me like rain.
Illuminate my darkness,
and numb my persistent pain.

i was thinking about investing some time in you,
but what will that cost me?
suddenly my sanity is at stake because I know that you,
you will make me care about the little things that never mattered to me before,
and god i don't want to need you
so please don't make me.
don't touch me so gently,
with soft lips and fingertips
and stop looking at me like I matter,
like I just might mean something important to you
don't stay up late to talk to me
or play with my hair when we lay together
I know you remember that I like 4 sugars in my coffee,
how I bite my lip when I'm anxious
and that I have a mole hidden high on my upper left thigh
but maybe for my sake
forget all this and leave me alone
before it's too late and we're both
lost

for the first time i am leaving my fate in the hands of another
and i stand here waiting,
hopelessly hoping

I am unnerved to the point that I consider completely turning back around and forgetting it all
because being alone with thoughts full of potential
is easier than relinquishing part of myself to you.
my naked body is nothing compared to you seeing me truly stripped down

just pour me a shot and play my favorite song.
the monsters under my bed will introduce themselves to you
and unapologetically i would let you in

but only if I turn around and know
that your hands are waiting there to hold mine
