It's 3 am and I'm still awake
And the sky is still dark blue
I'm still counting the minutes
But mostly I'm still missing you
I still think about you
And I still wonder why
my happiest memories of you
are the ones that make me cry
I still wonder why you never
loved me or let me in
but I also still wonder
if maybe you accidentally did
'Cause I know you still care about me
And I still wonder why
Because you've still got so much that's more important--
You're still reaching for the sky
Why do I still think about you all the time?
Why am I still holding on?
Am I still believing
that you're not really gone?
I still believe there's a chance
I still hope that someday
you'll be able to love me
and my pain will go away
I still don't know how to let you go
But I know that until I finally do
Or until we are together
I'll always still be missing you

It was flowing along nicely and then I hit this road block: "I still wonder why you never
loved me or let me in
but I also still wonder
if maybe you accidentally did
It just doesn't rhyme ... maybe something like:
I still wonder why you never
loved me why you never let me in
I also wonder if you did
please won't you tell me when
lovely concept, just work on the rhyme. -
I think this poem is great good work

I still don't know how to let you go
But I know that until I finally do
Or until we are together
I'll always still be missing you

Nice
Very, very good poem! I definitely know how you're feeling about heartbreak. My ex and I broke up 3 months ago but I still think about him constantly and it still hurts so much. You're definitely not alone with it.

this is lovely and it really expressed ur longing to have them back as so many of us do after a breakup. a emotiove poem with a lovely flow thnx and gd luck

Phew!! This was definitely heart-wrenching. Extremely emotional context. Hence, you obviously did well with the mood
!
The way you chose to open things up, with the 'early morning I and sleepless' sort of setting... That was really a killer idea! Really establishes the tone.
The refrain throughout this was perfect! The more you used, "Still" the more this built. I'm really astonished at the desperation in this. It's probably one of my favorite tones, to be honest with you.
Lovely poem

Another great write! I know that you didn't mean to, but you wrote a great poem that could be turned into lyrics! Great job! I can't wait to read more from you!

This is written very well. Yes, being a lot older than you, I've lived through much heartbreak. It sucks. It always stings, but somehow we get through it. Keep writing!

Nice work
great poem...really well written... i can very much relate, its all too familiar but you've expressed it all so perfectly.. i can feel the emotion.. its so hard to be left waiting, wondering and missing the one person who you need the most... i tried writing poems about the pain of waiting for a loved one to come back.. but i could never have expressed the feeling as wonderfully as you have..

Good Job
great job on the poem, love is a very difficult thing, but to have love there must be trust and to have trust there must be honesty I hope that you get what your heart desires. -
Woot woot!
I love this poem! Absoloutly awesome! -
Nicely done. It's obvious that you put so much of yourself into these words. In some ways, it reminded me of lyrics - perhaps it was because of the soft rhyming or repetition of "still".
Overall, a good write with a theme so many can relate to. As much as situations such as this cause heartache - when you grow from such experiences and meet the "right" person, it's that much better and you appreciate it all the more.

This is a good poem. I can really relate to this, as many people can. But heartache is just another obstacle we have to cope with in life... which sucks all the same even though some things are even more depressing at times. In this poem, I like how you question yourself. Why are you still thinking about this person? People we love are forever etched in our minds, so I guess that's why. But when one thinks constantly about someone, that's one helluva bad broken heart story
But that's the way for me, in a way. There's the second stanza that made me think of the lyrics of this song, "I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had". What he and you say are contradictory in a way, but it makes sense (well for me ). Quite a sad poem, I hope you're feeling better nowadays. Great write 
And thank you very much for your comment... and well I write things that don't make sense so you're really not the only one that didn't understand my crap 
Thanks again.

In many of the realms we will visit after our life in this physical plane is done, we will meet with the ones familiar to us in this world. In different settings with a different awareness. If you're capable of writing this, you must be capable of meaningful love and great events will be waiting for you in other places and times. Just never give up hope for it is one of the foundations of our existence in all our lives. Thank you for creating and sharing. Stay strong and take care,

Made me stop and think.
Hauntingly familiar. Incredibly moving. As I read this, I actually could feel you talking about and to me. You got inside my head and made me realize that I have left people feeling this way. -
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this poem is so great i really like it.
" I still hope that someday
you'll be able to love me
and my pain will go away"
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Even without your side pictures of a wolf howling at a moon... I hear your desperate cries.
I understand the heart wrenching sadness that you're going through, but can offer you no comfort in that regard. For humans do just as they please, and sometimes are as murky as mud. Good luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. -
Great
I feel the same way...how can the happies things be the saddest? It confuses me...thanks for sharing this with the world...i loved it. Keep writing, and try to keep a happy heart!
