It's getting kind of dark in here,
as I sit and wait for you.

It's been thirteen years,
since I last spoke to you.

It's been thirteen years,
and still I wait for you.

It's drained a lot of tears,
when I've thought of you.

It's drained a lot of tears,
to not think of you.

It's getting kind of dark in here,
and I will continue to wait for you.

I left you there standing in the rain
Pretending I couldn't see your pain
Thinking that I had nothing to lose
Nothing to lose but you

Life gives my stomach knots
Dread conquers my thoughts
I am weak, for I can take it no longer
As life goes on, it gets wronger and wronger

I look to the pills; I look to the bottle
They are kind and act as my throttle
Uppers and downers
My friendly encounters

People: my enemies
Hates and jealousies
They are all better than I could ever be
They have more than I could ever see

So what will I take today?
What will make these thoughts go away?
But they'll be back, just  like a pest
What I need is eternal rest

There's one thing
I have to tell you.

I can't stop uttering,
anything about you.

Whether its about the midnight rain
and how it describes your voice so well,
or the way you won't stop singing,
till you're satisfied and sewn me to sleep.

If I look at the dark orange spotted afternoon,
or the satin red leaves of autumn.
I'll know its been a while since I've thought
of you.

If I hear the chalky barren concert of concrete,
or the uproar of the arid wind.
I'll have forgotten what your voice
sounds like.

If I feel the reticent tremble of winter,
or the cold bitter piercing destitute bed.
I'll remember why our adulation had
my heart in a headlock.

I cannot give you the world
or my name.
Because I do not own them.
All I can give you is my love and lungs,
that is all that I have and hold.

All I'll ever ask of you is for your voice and love.
You make my head lighter with just
some notes you sing.
I would like to thank the community for keeping this beautiful website free.
I would also like to receive feedback and criticism on this poem.
Thank you.

I close my eyes to imagine a day,
When my stomach won't knot at the thought of your name.
I can't help but wonder if you know what I feel,
Or if you'd care to know that the pain makes me question if it was ever real.
The thought of a day where you and I don't exist
Brings tears to my eyes, but I can't continue like this.
Because what you give is far less than what you receive,
I'd be cheating myself if I continued to believe
This was anything deeper than a deal we had made.
You got what you wanted, and I just got played.
Don't get me wrong, I know I lied to myself.
I wanted to believe you were in love and just needed my help.
But, that makes it hurt worse; the blame lies with me.
You never said that we'd ever be.
I can't even say that we still act like friends.
You don't come around unless my body's to lend.
I know at this point that I have to let go.
One day I'll feel better and have something to show.
I'm sure it sounds selfish, but I'll admit here and now,
I hope when I'm gone, you'll miss me somehow.
Maybe when I stop trying, you'll finally see-
You could have had something special If you cared about me.
It likely sounds silly, but I wish for a day,
When you'll think of me sadly, as the girl who got away.

Hide the thoughts, mask the pain
Break the rules to play the game.
Why? How? When? Where?
Who really knows?
No one cares.
It has to be possible- People do it all the time.
My walls just aren't typical.
Maybe that's a lie.
I don't really know.
One day I'll stop caring.
Sick of letting things show, not letting go.
Decide to feel different.
I hate when that's said.
It doesn't erase anything from my head.
Is it really that simple?
Perhaps.
I doubt it though.
If it were, there would be no relapse.
