I’m Wrong When Your Not Here
And Still Not Right When Your Near
Something’s Just Not Right
When It’s Right, It’s So, So Right
But When It’s Wrong, It’s So, So Wrong Too
My Body Ached For Your Touch
And Exhaled When It Got It
My Heart Aches To Feel That Love,
That Only You Can Give It
And When You Tried, For Reasons Still Unknown
My Heart Cried Out In Pain
I Need Not Only Your Body
I Also Need Your Mind
I Need Not Only Your Presence
I Also Want Your Attention
I Need Not Only Your Kisses
I Also Need The Passion Once Behind Them
I Need Not Only Your Words
I Also Need The Truth and Conviction
That Your Actions Of Late Do Not Reveal
I’m Hungry But Can’t Eat
Food Has Lost It’s Savor
I’m Tired But Can’t Rest
My Mind Won’t Let Me
I’m Angry But Can’t Shout Out
My Voice Your Ears Have Closed Off
And Turned Down The Volume To What I’m Saying
I Want To Stop Crying
But The Floods From The Heartache In My Soul
Like A Waterfall Has Eclipsed My Heart
So My Tears They Overflow
I’m In Pain! I’m In Pain! I’m In Pain!
I Want To Stop Hurting
But The Loss Of You and Once Was Us
Cuts Like A Knife To My Very Essence
You’re here In Body
And I Think You Feel That This Is Good
For You
But The Essence Behind Your Presence
Is No Longer In Attendance
So My Heart Grieves The Loss Of Us
Me and You
I’m Wrong When Your Not Here
And Still Not Right When Your Near
Something Mi Amor
Is Amiss

Whoa, kastor's comment seems a litle harsh. I guess he doesn't understand that sometimes even when you know something is amiss it is still hard to fully grasp it and do something about it! I know that it is false hope at times but hope is what keeps us going! His take seems to be 'get over it and move on with life'. Generally I agree but I also know that with some poeple it takes time and longing for what was soon fades.
Take care and be well!

Muchas Gracias for your kind words. My poetry is who I am, my DNA, and just like you go through life with the framed picture of who you are and what you look like and have to love yourself enough to except yourself flaws and all, thats how I receive comments from all thoughs around me. He can comment in the way he did because thats how he views things, my poem included, smile. My poem is my life and my exprience, and I am pleased to say that this particular poem was written for a good reason and the person that needed to hear and receive it did and in a positive manner. He is my soulmate and best friend since we were 5 and 6 yrs of age and my husband of 27 yrs this August and will continue to be, smile. People can't understand what they don't know and have not experienced. Again, thank you so very much for your kind words, smile! Siempre, Native American Girl.

Aww, it's so stupid I have to clap. Your bravery astounds me. It's like seeing a big hole in the road and driving right into it for fun. Maybe if you practice living in crummy circumstances long enough you'll graduate to full emo and be able to cut yourself and write about that too.
