I find myself lost in the memory of you
Staring through a closed, dirty window
Watching and waiting for you to return
The wills and wants spark my concern
When I am without you, I fear confusion
Not knowing where I stand, who I am
I can feel your despair, though I hear no words
I know in my heart those thoughts you won't disturb
I'd reach my arms out to touch you
If you beckoned me to your presence
I'd speak the truth from my heart, my soul
You wouldn't ask of me any more
And grasping at these images means I fail
To understand the meaning of simple pardon
The taste of your lips no longer sweet
Am I no longer begging at your feet?
I find myself lost in the memory of you
Though you stand in my line of sight
In your eyes I see your need for me
Though I feel your heart speaks differently

This poem was a release for me. It's the only thing I've written since the enormous bust up with my boyfriend 3 weeks ago. He doesn't think he loves me, because he doesn't know what love is. He's apparently been spending the time since to figure out what he wants. When we've spent time together, sometimes it's been awkward, but other times it's been great. One thing that remains the same tho... he shows little signs of emotion (unless we're physically touching each other). He never tells me when something's wrong, which is the major problem in our relationship. Basically, this poem is about me knowing inside the things he won't say, because I can feel them. Sometimes I think I'm an empath because I'm usually right... I'd rather hear the words than feel the thoughts...

Yet another of your pieces that needs to be promoted immediately! This is so beautiful, I can barely stand it. I feel the pain of your heart speaking through these words. I am so glad the pain is no longer there..
Yours in compassion,
