PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Am I wrong for wanting you all to myself?

I mean really what am I supposed to do

I never get to spend seconds upon minutes and hours with you.

So of course I always want you to myself

And hell no, I don’t want to share

I’m never there and you’re never here

And all I can see, my deepest fears

Is that we’ll have to go on like this for years upon years.

This shit is hard enough now,

So then what am I gonna feel?

The same way I do right now,

Only depression magnified by ten.

All this time without you and I’m suppose

To just take a phone call and grin?

I don’t know what to say and I don’t know what to do

How frustrated I am wanting to be with you.

And since I can’t, thinking that I should break up with you

And then where would I be,

Hell I have you there and I have no serenity

So if I lost you everywhere, can you picture me?

Out of my mind and crazy for sure

Damn what is a sister like me to do?

I can’t wait for the day that I won’t have to wait

I want have to plan a trip to spend two days

And anytime I want to I can look at your face

And when you need me, I’m always there

No qualms, no worries, and no delays.

So for now I guess I’m here by myself

I guess for now I’m gonna have to deal

I’m just gonna have to live knowing that

Distance can never separate a love that’s real.
