Attention Creates Suspension

by samantha-neal

I stopped writing for awhile For I had started to forget Forget what it was like to Be left alone again. After you had left I was abandoned With my own thoughts I had to write A love as pure as you is something I cannot find over night. And for some time I was there Stuck in desperation for a little more Left to try and repair my body My life stuck in a repetitious bore. But slowly I pulled myself out Finding serenity through friends Peace of mind came quickly, easier I found that my thoughts of you came to an end. I participated, I went out I let others hold me as you once did And slowly I found life less lonesome To open up and be happy again. But once more you came back knocking With hopes to drag me in And in my foolish glee, I accepted And I went spiraling down again. I got caught up in speaking with you Then forgot that it would soon end For when you got what you had wanted I was left alone to fend. I'm quick to jump to conclusions: Maybe I could get you back again Or I could always turn and find it easiest To stay laughing with my friends. But we both know that I won't choose the latter I'm weak and foolish to try to crawl back But that never matters *For I'm addicted to your attention And I slip down at your suspension.*
