How am I supposed to know
How I should spend my time?
No one ever has stopped to show
Direction, or specific sign.

Please allow me to introduce myself
In case your new to the scene
I am the thought that brings on the doubt
At the edge of all your dreams

I am lost confidence in the making
With deception on the side
The shiver in the shaking
The turning over of time

I am the spot closest to the end
When you have no where else you can turn
The front door to the school of hardknocks
When there's a lesson needed to learn

I am the dust that's on the shelf
Of your life's ambition
The torn out page if nothing else
Of the part that you are missing

So please allow me to introduce myself
Just in case your new to the scene
When it comes down to it above everything else
I am all you and you are all me
So many people all around,
I'm crowded in this space;
Noises, voices, endless choices,
Mind starts to erase.

Walls start closing in on me,
I'm trapped inside this place;
Cries, surprise, I realize,
I'm just another face.

Get me out, let me go,
My blood begins to race;
Shining, pining, no declining,
Breaking out with no disgrace.

The box they put me in is gone,
I'm a circle in this square place;
Blinding, finding more, reminding
The trapped to find escape.

I lost a poem the other day
containing all the words I planned to say
A heart poured out upon even lines
an ink stained sheet offering words that rhyme
..
I think I wrote of a love so long ago
memories I'd forgotten now, or didn't know
It may hold the answers to my weakened heart
or at least lead me to a future I'd wish to start
.
I'd like to see once again these words that spoke to me
they offered a warmth comforting many anxieties
So, if you see my lonely words just floating around
please try to capture them or entice them to the ground
..
I need to read the thoughts once stored in my heart
from these words I can no longer be apart
These precious forms they heal my tainted soul
pulling me together again,  making me feel whole

This distance that's keeping us apart,
Making me feel blue deep within my heart.

I miss you each minute that passes,
Imagining your gentle caress.
                                                
Wishing you were here with me,
Wrapped in a cuddle with thee.

How long would we be like this?
I wish I had a goodbye kiss.

Without you, I feel so alone,
Can't talk to you even on the phone.
                                                
Have you already forgotten me?
I hope not, sweetie.

'Coz I am still hoping that one day,
You'll be back and forever in my life you'll stay.
Product of my boredom :D I was able to make good use of my time by writing poems.
Thanks for reading! ;)

Thanks to Amitav Radiance for thinking of a good title for this :)
