Eileen Manassian Poet Free verse

Don'T Make Me Miss You

I don’t want to miss you
So don't make me...
Just to prove a point
To Fulfill a need
There is no point or need for that
I miss you
You know it’s true
So, don’t hide behind the guise
Of busyness
The hide and seek neediness
Of your heart
For affirmation's seal

I miss you
Let it be enough
Don’t ask the whys or wherefores 
Of what that all means
It seems
It’s just the way it is
Essential entity to me
I miss you
Just let it be
Just bask in the knowledge
In the serenity and sweet simplicity
Of this truth
I miss you…
I do

Jslambert Mister Roboto August 14, 2014 at 1:45 AM A necessary write! Many people play games of love...for attention and whatnot. It is a game of much anguish, hard on the heart. We have each no doubt been involved in situations like this. Help me if I had to go through this at this stage in life, would I even have the patience for the hint of the chase? Maybe, sadly, probably so, We are all suckers for the mystery and miseries of the game. You've penned another miracle! I am favorite-ing it now! Eileen Manassian August 14, 2014 at 8:30 AM Hard on the heart...for sure. I'm so touched that you would fave this, JS. Thank you.

Richard Lamoureux August 13, 2014 at 4:47 PM I say it with each visit my dear. If you ever need assurance read all the comments I have posted on your writing. Eileen Manassian August 13, 2014 at 4:51 PM I do...need reassurance. That's just me. Think you know me well enough by now...but thanks! I'm just a silly goose...I know. I can't help it. It's who I am. Thanks, Richard. You've always been kind to me...I appreciate your presence in my life.

Liam Mcdaid August 13, 2014 at 2:30 PM beautifully penned eileen Eileen Manassian August 13, 2014 at 4:33 PM Thanks, my dear. I've missed you. Hope all is well, Liam. Do you have a new one up that I haven't visited? I always do visit you. At times it may be late at night...before I sleep. I'll be on my phone and too tired to write, but I love your work. :)

Richard Lamoureux August 13, 2014 at 8:12 AM It is good to know that we are indeed missed. This is a thoughtful reminder to all of us that there are those who miss and care about us. Eileen Manassian August 13, 2014 at 4:45 PM Yes, but it is good for it to be SPOKEN now and again. It goes both ways...I know. Thanks for coming back here to say that. Hugs Richard Lamoureux August 13, 2014 at 4:41 PM Me caring about you should be an unspoken truth demonstrated by my dedication to you and your writing. Eileen Manassian August 13, 2014 at 4:35 PM Thanks, Richard. I'd have loved to see the singular personal pronoun used here....That's ok. It works. Thanks for the post.

Justin Bordner August 13, 2014 at 2:15 AM There is a sweet and heavy tenderness to this poem of heart Eileen. Walkin away from a woman like you seems so impossible. This is poetry, and heart truth that everyone can relate to, yet its so unique too. This poem says everything that everyone ever wanted to hear from an estranged lover. Deep! J.AB. Eileen Manassian August 13, 2014 at 4:44 PM :) Justin....I'm at a loss for words. Depression makes my life difficult...and affects me in so many ways...Then again...My highs are SO extremely high....It has it's positives, I guess, but to walk away from me...perhaps isn't as difficult as you think. I'm a trouble soul...but on the bright days, I sing. Hugs
