Hither and Thither

Everyday I see him and he sees me He's the Danny to my Sandy, why can't I be? I fall for him more everyday And the fall is hard, I feel the pain He's my sunshine on a dark and humdrum day But the apocalypse on a bright and mirthful day My heart belongs to him But his lay locked in the hands of another To me, he is my world Yet I, am but another speck of dust among the rest of them They say you'll find love one day, I ask when? If not me, then her If not you, then who? Silently sitting, searching This discrete yearning Here I am, waiting for you There you are, never on cue I think, maybe know, that you are the one I am but a planet and you are my sun. These cuts, these slits, the scars on my arms Please tell me that I'm worth it Make me believe it Tell me I'm beautiful Like no one has before The bruises on my fat stomach, The slashes across my gigantic thighs, The tear stains that run down my tired face These internal dents you could help me erase These words that I write for you, I hope you know that they're true For I call you hither and yet you go thither These empty thoughts, in my mind they whisper, That I will never be loved, And of course not by you To say I believe them, Would that affidavit be true?

Kudzi,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
