Heartache

I'm sittin' alone tonight

unsure of the future

listening to songs of depression

kinda wishing I had a light

I'm wondering how

when, where, who, and why

I'm feeling this way now

and it's something not so shy

Girl, don't leave me like this

I know we're apart

but doing this ain't that cool

and you knew I'd fall like a fool

I can't shake your reasons

they don't come and go like seasons

There's nothing here to gain

this little act has to be a fact

that'll leave me crying in the rain

Girl, I can't let go just like that

it takes useless time and tears

it's everything tied to my fears

how bad is a little chat?

Why can't you see I want you

I want to love and kiss you

to run to you because I miss you

and my feelings are all true

Girl, if I didn't measure up

then you shouldn't have tried me on

now I'm thinking alone

wondering what will come

in the next full cup

You should've played games

with some boy

who just loved your look

instead of this guy

who looked at your book

Could this be so easy for you

could all this be a joke

could it just be a day dream

could you just be another face

that lives in a foreign place

Girl, hear my heart cry

hear it grind against the knife

hear its roaring ache

but it's not in your wake

I wish you knew how bad it feels

I wish it would just rain

cause it'll hide those tears

that come from my pain

I guess this southern boy

was just a life sized toy

Girl, I'm sittin' alone tonight

unsure of the future

listening to songs of depression

kinda wishing I had a light

I'm wondering how

when, where, who, and why

I'm feeling this way now

and it's something not so shy...

I could really feel your emotion here. For me, emotion in poetry always cuts me to the core (which is a good thing.) It inspires me to write, and you are definitely an inspiration to me. Everything about this poem was beautiful - the title, the words, the feelings. I know I always say this, but keep up the good work!

Wow! No one's said that ever. I'm glad that I can be an inspiration. Like I say "Write from the heart and the brain. Combine them to create a great piece of writing." You are also very talented. I feel your words and mostly connect to them. This piece I sorta wrote almost 2 months ago when I was really falling for someone and she blew me off for some reason. And you can always bet I'll keep it up. You do too!!!
