Longing For You

by Bridgette* Cancer - Not entered

I stay up late into the night,
longing for you and hurting more than ever,
but I just can't get you out of my sight,
no matter how much I want to, I can never.
I just can't stop torturing myself,
wishing that you were here by my side.
I hold the picture that's usually on my shelf,
and thinking of how many times I cried.
In the picture you are so close to me.
Holding me like you don't want to let go.
You made me feel like I never thought could be.
My real emotions my face did show.
But you are so far away fromme now.
Not just physically but emotionally too.
We are now on two different clouds,
and I feel as if I don't have a clue.
I just wish things were how they were before.
But you're so far you can't come back.
Our past is gone, and you slammed its door.
When you left you cut me no slack.
You went from loving to hating me.
And in no time at all.
What I did to offend you I cannot see.
Out of love you made me fall.
So why am I here, longing for you?
These feelings for you, I don't want to feel.
I wish you felt the same way for me, too.
But I know you don't, and never will.
