May be

A poem from the clingy girlfriend who just plain cares.

I may seem a little clingy

or maybe just downright selfish and controlling.

I may seem moody

and unbalanced

crazy

or difficult.

The truth is, I may be all of those things and more.

 

I get self-conscious

and I get jealous.

I throw fits and make you the one to blame.

 

I get restless and just plain cranky when I can't be near to you-

when it's taking too long to hear from you.

It's a burning in my heart like a flame.

 

I can be difficult

demanding

and just too hard to please.

-whiney and complaintive,

a constant tugging at your sleeve.

 

The truth is, I can be all of those things

and more

because without you I could have all of the riches in the world

and still feel dirt poor.

 

I could have diamonds

rare turquoise

and acres of gold,

but it couldn't beat having your hand to hold.

 

Honey, all of the best clothes and cars

couldn't outweigh the pure sensation of love I experience from just the security of your strong arms.

 

 

I'll be jealous

difficult

and demanding-

whiney

moody

-everything in between

because you are the king that makes me queen,

the smile that lights my world,

and the spark that sets my flame.

Letting me fall in love with you is all to blame

because now that all is said and done, sharing you just feels like a shame.

great poem. It may seem like girls are just to clingy but they aren't they just want to see your smile or hold your hand. Most boys don't know that but I am glad you brought this to our sight. I think the men and boys that read this will have a bigger intelligence in that social aspect of life. I know I have learned and I thank you for it. Once again great poem and I am glad you wrote it.

Thank you so much for this feedback, it inspires me all the more to be free with my inner-emotions which are what trigger me to write in the first place.

This is beautiful and I can relate to it. While reading it I cannot deny that I can be the same way. This is a lovely piece that portrays real difficulties with real reasons. :)
