Poem Title:
Poem
Lying here, Trying not to think of you The more i try, The more i do Tossing and turning Staring into darkness for hours Why do i love you much? Why do i give you so much power? Though you're hundreds of miles away I've learned the distance, It only increases the pain Full moon tonight, Seeping through my windows Trying to hold me, comfort me... Like it knows I wonder if you see the moon, If you ever think of me Is it trying to hold you too, Are you asleep? Does it tell you my secrets, The ones involving you How about my regrets, It knows those too No wonder i cant sleep, My mind won't shut down The lights too bright, Far too many sounds I could close the curtains, Pretend i don't hear But then sleep could come, And it's my dreams i fear Night time is the hardest, Because I'm completely alone Even so, I welcome the darkness No one can see me cry...but the moon I've had many reasons to cry, But I'd forgotten how to A wrong decision made, Now that's all i do Makeup hides dark circles, A tear streaked face I can't hid the regret, Or feelings of disgrace I thought i loved him you know? That's why he was my choice I still thought of your touch Your sarcastic, soothing voice He did make me happy... Most of the time But something was missing I knew what it was...just kept lying Sleep might take over, Maybe I'll give in Moon's moved out of vision, All i can hear is the wind I imagine i hear footsteps Long strides that belong to you But the more i strain to hear them, The more i realize they aren't true I wish i could make you remember Remember how you use to feel I don't know if you loved me Whatever it was, i know it was real I let him go, And took your bait Realized i love you...still, I'm too late Sleep is taking over, Drowning me in its grip Trying to stay above water, Maybe I'll just give in Sleeping means to dream That's the one place you always are You love me there, but I'm trying to forget And this makes it too damn hard There, you touch me like you once did You remind me of your lips You hold me like you'll never let go Then i wake up...and you did I'm almost there now, falling so slow Into your arms...only here You'll never let me go There you are I can hear your voice You have been..and always will be My final choice
