Losing You

I feel like I am losing you
Sorry to be blunt
This poem; not a cry for help or
Attention grabbing stunt

I know you are no possession
And even if you were
I have no claim, no stake in you
I know that you'll concur

And yet I feel quite vacant
Like a part of you has left
Not anxious, just uncertain
This feeling in my chest

I don't know how to fix this
Not wanting to impose
I have to be myself I guess
Not in someone else's clothes

So there. I said it.
I'm hoping you don't mind
It's just this insecurity
That's less than cruel; unkind.

Whenever I get close to you
Your presence makes me soar
It's just the way the story goes
Repeats itself. Once more.

Delivered with a sense of despair, but an inkling of hope. Exceptionally well written, and, as for most exceptional writers, their wit is honed from experience...and, thanks for stopping by site this morning!

I find this poem intriguing. The rhyme is perfect to my ears. It's difficult to be left alone.
