PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m on the outside looking in

Wondering if there is room for me to squeeze in through a window

Kind of stalkerish, I know

But it’s not like you don’t know I’m here

You have me when you want me

And when you don’t-wait, have we come to that point yet?

Let’s start over-I got off on the wrong foot here

I’m not a trinket, or a pet, or a toy

And you know that

I appreciate it, I do

Why do I feel lonely on the inside?

Is it not enough?

You once told me more was better

And you’re probably right

Personal intimacy is gone

For the moment

I’ll try to find it again

Somehow

For now, I’m just on the outside looking in

And that’s how it will always be
