you
There are 168 hours in the week.
I spend 70 of them sleeping.
Or at least trying to.
I spend the other 98
Thinking about you.
The speck of orange in your eyes.
Your subtle smile
both a clever hint as to whats beyond your disguise.
Call it cliche
but every night as I fall asleep
my last thought
is the feeling of your lips on cheek.
Call it overplayed
but every morning when I wake up
the sound of you saying my name
is stuck on repeat
call me relentless
because I keep fighting for this
call me stubborn
because I just won't quit.
quit.
You're like a drug I can't quit.
Not that I really want to.
I keep scratching my wrists
begging for another hit
a hit of...
your hand in mine.
I just wanna call you mine.
God, what the hell are you doing to me?
Since when is this the song I wanna sing?
When did I lose control of things?
When did you become such a big piece of me?
I've seen you struggle.
I've heard you scream.
I've watched you fight.
And I know that in your darkness
I could be your light.
I could be a part of your life.
But you're stubborn too
and everything I say or do just pushes me further and further away from you
You.
You.
You.
I miss you.
I can't stop thinking about you.
It's always you.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I just want to be close to you.
My heart is breaking.
Please tell me what to do.
I know the answer can only come from you.

Author's Note
So this poem is kind of the offspring of my inability to sleep and a couple angry rants. It's unfinished, unedited, and unorganized. I just need to get this off my chest. Enjoy :)

It's kind of a frustrating feeling isn't it? It sucks that he'll most likely never see this. But hey, at least my readers will know how I feel.
I'm glad you enjoyed. Thank you for your feedback :)

Know the feeling well about putting feelings down for someone who never read them as for unedited unorganised usually the best poems come raw and I liked this

"Since when is this the song I wanna sing?
When did I lose control of things?"
The answer can only come from he light within...
Sing from your pulsing heart
From the fountain where poems flow
Rising then bending into a rainbow
And falling like a phoenix into the pool
That swims back into the prizmic sky
Open your windows
See through your inner eye

Hi, Jess
Your poem is a light that shines without!
It illuminates your 98 hours of proverbial high on "a drug [you] can't quit."
There is frustration as well as hope, but the hope makes the wait more endurable.
"Call it cliché..."
"Call it overplayed..."
"call me relentless..."
"call me stubborn..."
These lines rock with the rhythm of your drive against despondency, like a variable refrain.
An expressively heart-emptying episode, I think.
Sincerely
cab

Excellent write! Can I sing the middle 8, lol, please?
"I've seen you struggle.
I've heard you scream.
I've watched you fight.
And I know that in your darkness
I could be your light."
This is a high tempo'd love song rocker, if ever I read one.

Enjoyed its raw honesty. Favourite set of lines:
You're like a drug I can't quit.
Not that I really want to.
I keep scratching my wrists
begging for another hit
a hit of...
your hand in mine.
