Without Me

I want to write a love poem
That will make you see you can’t live without me
I want to pen words so prophetic that your heart will
Scream for me
And make you beg me to never leave
I want to spit verse and prose that will let you know
You are all I will ever need or want
A love poem that will make you see
You just can’t live without me

I want these words to mirror my heart and show you
That no one will ever love you like I do
Even as I hope you find happiness in the outlook you see as true
I want to proclaim with paper and pen
That the universe led me to you so you’d see
We are the completed chosen ones
And the universe lives through you and me
I want my words to be cheesy and silly
Thought provoking and erotic
I want them to inspire passion
And calm your soul while being cathartic
I want my words to flow and bend so that you will truly see
That no will ever love you like I do
Because you belong to me

I want to write a love poem
That will make you see
You just can’t live without me

But I don’t know how to convince you
Worse yet I don’t know if I should
All I know is that I want to write that poem
And I would if I could
Instead I fight not to dial your number
As I try not to think your name
Fight not to send you text messages
As I try not to go insane
Fight not to want you
As I try not to imagine you getting over me

Fight not to realize
That US will never be
And I stand here so selfishly
And ache to write a love poem
That will make you see

You just can’t live without me
