I wait for you to come home
and I know it’s okay
you don’t have to want me all the time
but I have been there before
I lived in fake empty homes
so I wait for you to
decide you don’t want me anymore
I cried in our bed today
I threw things when you weren’t home
and I know it’s not me
that hasn’t been me in a long time
but I have lived that before
I screamed in cold empty rooms
so I wait for you to
decide you can’t live with old echoes
of a girl always on fire
I wait for you, but I know
I’m not okay with this
I don’t want to need you not to go
but my heart beats in my stomach
as I wait for you to leave

…but you don’t
you come home
and you stay [comments] => 3 [counter] => 109 [topic] => 48 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

I Wait

my heart beats in my stomach
I wait for you to come home
and I know it’s okay
you don’t have to want me all the time
but I have been there before
I lived in fake empty homes
so I wait for you to
decide you don’t want me anymore
I cried in our bed today
I threw things when you weren’t home
and I know it’s not me
that hasn’t been me in a long time
but I have lived that before
I screamed in cold empty rooms
so I wait for you to
decide you can’t live with old echoes
of a girl always on fire
I wait for you, but I know
I’m not okay with this
I don’t want to need you not to go
but my heart beats in my stomach
as I wait for you to leave

…but you don’t
you come home
and you stay

love needs the truth
to speak, whether or not
it is real.
You wrote something that
makes someone think about
the sacrifice and also the need
to suss things out.
It is creative and required.
Love and truth always are.
Hope the best for you MoonlitAngel
and your partner.
I guess I would say, believe in yourself
first. But I always believe that it can
be hard to give advice to anyone,
even those you know. Actually sometimes
it can be even harder for those you know
and truly do love.
Peace!

Love is a killer
should I stay or should I go
I want you but I do not want to want you
Love sucks

Loved the torment and anguish in this, coupled with the positivism threaded into the ending.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
