How do you do this to me?
Everything was fine without you,
and now you're back again.
Calling up lost feelings,
hidden very deep within.
I thought that I was over you,
but those feelings are still there;
and all I want to know now
is if you still care.
Or did everything we have disappear from view?
Are you trying to deny what is felt deep inside of you?
I'm so scared of what might happen,
even more of what might not.
But how can you be afraid to lose
if nothing is all you've got?
I have someone and so do you
and they know the feelings
shared between us, too.
I'm not the cheating type
and I love him so much,
but my heart is confused,
possessed by two peoples' touch.
I feel like a bad person,
but they told me the heart
can't help what it longs for,
and whenever I'm around you,
I feel so unsure
of where I stand in life,
except that you're not by my side;
and every day I'm reminded
of a past that all but died.
So is my curse to bear through life
to never hold you again?
Or is my blessing to see you each day,
and know that we're still friends?
It's hard to show no emotion,
even harder to not give in
whenever I am around you,
your heart calls out to me again.
Author notes
The poem starts out simply like the feeling, and as it runs its course gets longer and heavier and choppier. I think it serves its purpose well.
options three and four, I think
love always hurts eventually

wow, I know exactly how this feels, and you've describe the emotion so well here. The wording and the way you have organised this piece read like a person battling with their conscience.
This piece is very well written, thanks for entering and good luck xxx -
I've been there and experianced this one myself, how the confusing feelings bounce back and forth in ones mind. And even though it gets longer and a bit choppy I think that it works well within the piece because that's the same way your emotions get when in a situation like this. Thanks for sharing

that is what happens to a feeling it grows and grows until it gets heavier to hold, but it doesn't stop there is just grows and grows. this poem is a example of that, keep it flowing

Wow, this is amazing. I completely know what you're saying. Me and my ex were together almost a year, and 2 years after we'd broken up we kinda started hanging out again, and all the intense feelings I felt for him came back to me, even though I have a boyfriend, and he was kinda with someone. Incredible poem, everything perfectly stated. <3
