I cry

When I think of you I cry

Love wasn’t supposed to feel this way

I thought love held you in its heart

Warm and friendly

Not this

Loving you hurts

I try not to think

I blame myself if I do

What was it that I did that caused you to look away

Or is it that you have become to familiar

That love has become too predictable for you

Have you hungered for that which I am not

Needing, wanting what I can not give

I long to hold and lash out at you in the same thought

But it is not in me to hurt you

How much longer can I stay

Hurting with the love I feel,

Afraid of the loneliness without you

Aching when I think of you

I feel the pain in this poem and I see a pattern from some of your other writings, and I know you said you have worked through all this and I truely hope it is so. May you have a happy holiday and may you really find happiness and joy with that special person.

Im crying right now. This is where I am. You captured my life in your poem and I amost wish I could send it to him. The part that got me so was "I long to hold and lash out at you in the same thought, but hurting you isnt in me." That is just perfectly said. Wonderful, Sad, Captivating Poem
