Talking to you in the late hours of the night
Has become my lifeline.
Its my favorite time of day,
Where I don't have to feel alone ,
Knowing you are here.
You want to be here.

My heart flutters and pleasure builds,
You like me too.
I say I miss you even though its only been a day.
You say you need to see me and I am lost.

You have become my friend and lover in such a short time.
Giving me love and companionship in equal measure.
I can't help calling you, if only to hear your voice.

You were there as I crumbled,
Caught up in my whirlwind of tears.
You helped me pick up the pieces,
Broken and taped over pain.
Showed me it didn't have to hurt.
You offered a distraction,
and stole my heart.
I am caught up in your circle.

I tried to write a poem about you,
None of the words seem to fit right.
You're the half to my tragic self,
and somehow it isn't all bleak.
You take my breath away with moments I didn't see coming.
I fall deeper each day,
Knowing you will catch me.

Who I am falls apart, when you're here.
I can't think straight, I don't want to.
You make me see things different.
I lose myself in you.
You're in every corner of my mind,
Chasing memories of when I was with you.
I look into your eyes and beg you
To take me.
I'm trying to find a place in your mind.
Where we can lie and fall in love.

I want to write my memory all over your body.
With kisses born of love and longing,
Passion fostered from your embrace.
I want to fit my body to yours and hold you,
Breathe in as you breathe out.
Leave you with images of me content in your arms.
Wrap your arms around my name,
Write your love across my heart.
I am yours to hold through the night.
I want to imprint myself on you.

With each whisper, you draw me out of my shell.
The words that lull me to let my guard down so you can reach me.
You let me know there is something you see,
The reason why you keep trying to get in.
I sting you with my words and insecurities.
You soothe me with words formed of love.
Even when I push you away, you come back and hold me.
That is exactly what I need.

I wither and die as I sit by the phone,
watching,waiting and hoping you will call.
Just today, be the one I need to hold my hand.
Act like you want to have me near, and not let go.
My resolve is wearing thin, my faith wearing down.
I need my lover to have my back.
Lately I feel like you aren't here.
Even when am next to you, you look through me.
You are full of pain and hot blades of rejection.
Why can't you just open up like a children's book,
letting me enter your enchanted world,
where you and I are in love again.
Just today, tell me you love me,
even if only for a while so I can smile.
write me texts and call to hear my voice,
lay me down on a wishing well so I can hope.
Talk to me like you care, like you always did.
Stay with me like you never left.
Just today, love me.

I wonder how you do it, the callousness and flippancy.
Breaking my heart in one fluid move and crossing over to someone else.
Do you love her? Is she a toy like I was?
A passing fancy for a day, a discarded rag the next.
I wracked my mind in search of a clue, that you loved me a little.
It's hard to watch her cry the same over you.
To roll herself in a ball of agony am comfortable enough to call home.
Beating up herself with thoughts that she wasn't enough,
That somehow she is flawed.
I know you're the broken one,
You try to *** your cracks with broken pieces of us.
It's not enough, it never is.
I shudder to think that others will know this pain.
And yet if you came by and asked me to come back,
I would leap like the flick of a guilty pleasure into your arms.
