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

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.
