not just obsessed Poet Free verse

The future killer

I placed all my bets on it working out 
paced round my room throwing clothes all around
read into every message, made up my own signs 
before we’d even met, in my head, he was mine
Constructed an image, put together piece by piece 
when it didn’t match up, I left my hope on the street 
He was so well mannered, so docile and kind
I just couldn’t see him with his hands in mine 
I make this mistake most every time 
planning futures and placing moments before the start of our time 
How do I let go of my intense dreaming 
because it’s to blame for that sinking feeling 
I can’t find an off switch 
it starts as soon as I see someone even glimpse
in the direction of me 
I hope when he’s here I act differently
living just in the moment not living for what could be
