Array ( [sid] => 99841 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => moments like these [time] => 2005-07-01 21:30:07 [hometext] => for damien, who now longs for me. [bodytext] => i don't know what goes through my mind
when i do these crazy things i do
i don't even know if i have an excuse this time
its moments like these
when i'd like to run away,
too scared to stay
too tired to deal with another day
i want to be left alone,
but i want to be noticed by you
or anyone i guess, who makes me feel
the way you never do.

its moments like these
when i want to scream
when i want you to see
this pain inside of me
but you never do.
i can't explain why i went home with him
gave myself away again
when i say i'm saving myself for you.
but he looked at me,
the way i want you to.

its moments like these
when its easy for me, to mistake
the way you feel about me
to justify not thinking clearly.
when he touched me, i felt you.
his lips on my lips, made me thirst for yours
but his hands didn't understand me the
way i want yours to.
i spread my love on him
in a way that was intended for you.

moments like these
i wake up crying for you,
ashamed that i didn't wait for you,
smoke an entire pack of cigarettes by noon,
staving off my hunger for you. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 252 [topic] => 2 [informant] => priss [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

damn, powerful. Yikes, sounds like a crappy situation. Good luck with that. Good write tho, the emotions really did come out with this. Hurt my head a little. We do crappy things to each other for crazy reasons and I have been there before. Gave me the chills.

nice write. and yes, we do make mistakes and it does hurt and we see people as who they aren't (ex. 'him for you'). and i hope that the person you wanted to save it all for is truely longing for you and loves you. good luck! hope it all works out! and keep up the good work!

If only everyone was perfect in our eyes. To give us all that we want and needed. To have that person come to us in a complete package.

It would be much easier. Instead of feeling we have to go in search of others to make up what we lack from our loved one.

I know I have felt this feeling before. Several others had what my husband didn't seem to have for me. The one thing I found out and the most important thing of all, is that my husband is faithful and he loves me.

I never asked my husband if he felt I was perfect in giving him his needs and wants, and I won't ask him either. I have faith that I am all what he needs because he is still with me and it shows up in his love for me.

I suppose I can admit to hard lessons learned. I am the older woman now, much wiser. So wise, I am no longer selfish of my own needs, only the needs for my spouse. And in many respects I am fulfilled by giving to him.

Think about it. Maybe we don't have what someone else has. Now that would be a kicker.. sad if my husband told me some other woman had something more than what I could give him. No easy words for my ears to hear, I will tell you that right now.

I view this write as a very educational piece. Self satisfaction.

You could turn this poem around also and place yourself in his shoes.

Thank you for posting. Again, a very educational write exposing self gratification.
