I can't wait for you any longer
You've taken too long to come
I've let myself whittle away
But you leave me here so glum
I wait for you in the nights
I wait for you through the day
Just hoping you'll come back
And for once I'll have my way
With every laugh from around me
I know how much I lack
But without your presence here
I cannot rise from the black
We once met every afternoon
Whether the sky was bright or drear
You took me dancing through the grass
Letting me toss aside all fear
But who am I to say I am?
I'm no longer a carefree lass
With all I've lost this past while
How could I help but be crass?
I am empty as the rocks on which I stand
And cold as bathroom tile
Ever since you left me
I needed you to make me smile
Why can't I find you in the mists?
You were never completely free
No way could you have gone so far
You are quite the amputee
I tied you to my own heart
In case I ever went bizarre
But I finally am in need of you now
And it's like you've stolen the car
You are a part of me, always have been
You can't just leave despite your vow
Without you I am not the fox
And through endless fields I blindly plow
Come back to me, my innocence
Come back to me, my freedom
Remove my scars and heal the shocks
I want to make the past overcome
To join the migrating flocks
To be free of merciless mocks
I can't wait for you any longer
Author notes
Eh, the last stanza was a little weird. I've been playing around with this rhyming pattern...ABCB DCEC FEGE, etc. It's rather entertaining. I'll post the other poem I wrote in this form later...I wrote it on the back of my German folder, so I have to remember to bring that home.

WOW
This is great! I can't believe you're so insightful at such a young age. It's also very sad. I hope you realize you still have your whole life ahead of you. It may not feel like it now, but there will be many more loves & laughs. Try to find the beauty & good
in every situation. I'm sure you at least learnd a great deal from this relationship. It will help you in the future. Live, Laugh, Love

i like the form you use the last stanza was off compared to the others but if it was your aim it went well as it does seem to gel in with the rest, the poem is so crying though its pain and desperate in a way just begging for that person to bring their love back, you have used some great words and brought good imagery here
well done
