Object of Desire
you are my object of desire
every time I see your face
I fly to the sky grabbing up
so close, yet so far
no matter how hard I try
you’re just too much of a star
love is something most people don’t know
you only know when you have it
but sometimes love doesn’t love you back
trying so hard to get closer
I just wish for a chance
because I don’t want to lose before I win
so please give me something
anything to keep me hanging on
you have a life and I’m not in it
talking to you only makes me feel sick
if you love someone you should let them go
but I don’t want to be alone
I hear a lot of talk
it’s better to move on
obsession is unhealthy
and I’m going mad
I want for you to like me
but you won’t give me a glance
everyone seems stable
but thanks to you, I’m feeling such a wreak
you don’t know how much easier this is
for you
to up and walk away
is something I don't understand
I just assumed you were trying to shut
me out
was it all in my head?
something I made up to keep us closer?
can I even trust myself to be around you?
I don’t think so
so I have to let go
every time I see your face
I fly to the sky grabbing up
so close, yet so far
no matter how hard I try
you’re just too much of a star
love is something most people don’t know
you only know when you have it
but sometimes love doesn’t love you back
trying so hard to get closer
I just wish for a chance
because I don’t want to lose before I win
so please give me something
anything to keep me hanging on
you have a life and I’m not in it
talking to you only makes me feel sick
if you love someone you should let them go
but I don’t want to be alone
I hear a lot of talk
it’s better to move on

A old poem I wrote when I was a teen. I had it on my LK account and thought I would update it. Hope it is enjoyable. And know these are old feelings from long ago hehe.

Dear DC,
Ugh! Unrequited love is the pits! Much easier said than done to “let it go”. My experience of it anyway. Gripping and relentless was more like it on my end. I really related to your thoughtful portrayal of this “condition”. Very eloquently written. H🌷

Oh, that agony of thinking it was all in your head.... it's crazy-making. Can definitely relate to this. Well done!

Some of the best advice I ever received was hold still and try not to make anything worse
I've never been able to do it myself but it sure sounds good
Cheers to your fragile heart 😘
