Dreaming

Late at night while everyone is asleep in their bed
I'm wide awake with you running through my head
I can't drift off with this going on
Sitting in the same position till the break of dawn

You run through my head all night and day
Even though it never ceases to cause me pain
Thinking of the things you would say to me
Constantly going and never ceasing to be

Your smile, your laugh, and my love for you
Keeps me wide awake no matter what I do
You go and never stop for a second to see if Im okay
You just continue on, running night and day

You occupy all my time with the very thought of you
And even these songs that play they do it too
They all make me think of what could have been
But I gave up everything that could be back then

Why did I believe that everything would be alright
When it just ended things with a single fight
I cant believe you will never be around
And no comfort while sitting here have I found

You are constantly on the run, never stopping to see
What all this love and loniness has done to me
But thats fine I understand what must be done
I want you to go, Be happy and have fun

You love another I know its true
As I learned that when I met you
She is a wonderful woman and sweet as can be
But your memory will always be with me

I will alway love you and always hold you dear
No matter what happens I know there is nothing to fear
Even when I try to sleep you keep me awake
But Im gonna survive for your sake

The thought of being with you, Holding you in my arms
Kissing you passionately, Awakened from the alarm
It was just a simple dream I seem to keep
But in the midst of it all I drifted off to sleep.

Author notes

Well after I lost a really good friend of mine who I was in love with For three days I couldn't stop thinking about him and each night when I fell asleep I would dream about him...so basically that would sum up this poem.

I had just gotten out of a love triangle and was constantly thinking about the guy I was in love with. It was a very difficult situation, but I got past it somehow.

      Thank you,

      It's definitely something that was very hard to endure and something I wouldn't change for the world. It was something I had to go through and something I had to learn from in order to become a better person and someone that could help others when they needed it. I am not happy with how things ended but I am happy to be able to say I know how it feels to be in this situation because it made me a better and stronger person. Thank you for commenting and reading.

      It was definitely...

      One of those things that can only be written through experience. All of the things I write about have either been seen, done or heard about from the people around me. I rarely write about something I know nothing about or doing prompts. That kind of thing is very difficult, so you know that when I write I write through my experiences. Its hard to endure something like this but it was something that happened and I came through it. Thank you for your comment.

    one word: Wow

    This is a beautufully crafted poem of what we all go through when we have to stop loving due to circumstances beyond our control. But do we a9tually stop? This is simply great. I love the line about the music:
    You occupy all my time with the very thought of youAnd even these songs that play they do it tooThey all make me think of what could have been

    I alwyas end up listening to sad love songs after a break up. Sucks but it pulls me thru. Good job thanks for entering and good luck!

      Yeah it was a very painful situation and took a while to get over. I am still trying to deal with it and it happened a year ago. Its hard to think about and when I do I get kinda upset about it myself still. But thank you very much for the comment.

    I Understand

    I think anyone who has ever loved someone and lost them can relate to the words you have written. I feel you did a nice job capturing the feelings that run you through the wringer when it's over. I truly enjoyed your piece...in the first verse, third line i believe there is a "the" that I don't think belongs...other than that AWESOME write.

      Oh WOW!!

      Im a little surprised at your comment, I never thought that I would get such a reaction...As for the sentence thing its really not its split up into stanzas of four lines which in this case seperates things. Also unless its in a single line it does not always require proper sentence punctuation.

      Also My name is Tammy, and no I do not mind you using my poetry and thank you for asking. You have my permission to use my works if you would like. You can use any of them you would like to. Its alright this experience teaches me more about love, life, and about issues I may not even realize yet. It also gives me the ability to help people who need it...

      Anyhow well thank you again for the comment and feel free to read and comment any other poem as well.
