Biting My Nails

I guess I'm just nervous

You make me revert to bad habits

Like bitting my nails

And closeting my sadness

So you wont feel guilty 

You've turned my mind into madness

Running through conversations

Trying to find where I went wrong

Hunting for what I could have said

That would throw us apart

'Cause losing you would be my fault

I know I'm too clingy 

Making you ready to leave

Even though the nights just begun 

I can't seem to get enough

My mother says it's because you're immature

The way you make me so insecure

We're too young to think about the future

Just enjoy what we have now

Yet you give me the tendency to worry

Like this itch I can't scratch 

Residing in the back of my mind

Avoiding it with all my might

'Cause sinking down in thought again

About what losing you would mean

Would recall dark depression 

That I can't bear to bear a thousandth time

Such is life I suppose

On goes the mating of deer and doe

You'll carry a piece of me wherever you go

Regardless if you stay or leave

At least we'll have the memories?

So there is the business of sadness

That I am left to deal with 

But I've had it with sadness

I just want my own piece of happiness

Maybe I should just go with it

Accept all is fare in love and war

Part of me thinks the man that said this

Hadn't experienced either things

So I think the way I'll handle it

Is drinking and smoking 

And deviling in the self destructive

See this kind of writing makes more sense to me! :p lol. Very good, it pretty much points out the fear of being left alone, being young, and just being plane out scared of loosing what you have built up between the two of you. I'm assuming that you may between 16-18ish?" Which are when women are usually still sensible emotion loving beings, its after they get stomped on once or twice when they get cold and mean! lol. I usually end up with the after girls. Relationships drive us mad! An they drive us away from love, but if you remember to never give up on love! You may turn out normal, unlike the rest of are Generation lol. But as you will find, its going to be insanely difficult. If someone can't love you for you, then don't bother with them! Move on to something knew,and always look deep down inside before you decide to make a choice for a mate. Look into your heart, and not those nice moist spots that yearn for many of things :p. Life is about love! A poet is about Love, with a hint of great sex!

A lot of emotions in this poem... I never believed in the too young thing. I understand the clingy part. I tend to be that way but I call that being passionate.

Yea I'm pretty sure the guy that said "all is fair in love and war" had no idea what he was talking about. There isn't anything fair about love or war. I really enjoyed this write and I can defiantly relate as I'm sure most of us can. It's sad that these issues push us to be self destructive but that is the way it usually goes. Excellent work.

10 views but only 2 reviews? C'mon people! Have you ever read good poetry? If you have, then this poem should be getting an abundance of reviews. I really liked this poem, mostly because I've been in a relationship with someone that has called me clingy and annoying when we broke up. Anyways, this was a beautiful and true poem to read, and I loved every line of it.

"I know I'm too clingy
Making you ready to leave
Even though the nights just begun
I can't seem to get enough"

But my favorite line would have to be:
"My mother says it's because you're immature
The way you make me so insecure"
Just brilliant, Megan. :3
