Of course I care
How can I not?
I am designed to love you
Emily Mar 2020
Are you going to break my heart
When you tell me that you love me
Sing sweet songs of forever more
Till you tell me you never loved me
Emily Nov 2019
I want to wait for you
But I’m afraid you’ll never come
Emily Sep 2018
consider the possibility
that it is gently unhealthy
to wrap your arms around me
while the one you want is she

I love you though
but you tell me no
so I let you go
but your actions show

that while you stand with her you look at me
so I start to weigh the probability
and I know the thought is blasphemy
but I love the taste of a maybe

I took your words as meaning
but your actions are seeming
to get me dreaming
so please tell me what are you meaning

when you hold my hand
and unfairly command
that I understand
I'm less than what you had planned

but still you hold my hand

and I don't want to let go
but as soon as it shows
you push me away
so that nobody knows

to consider the possibility
that it is gently unhealthy
to wrap your arms around she
while the one you want is me
Emily Nov 2019
I need you
I crave the comfort of your touch

Without you
I am a husk

You can heal me
End the drought in my soul

Fill me
Because I have poured out all that’s left

— The End —
