I lie here prone and exposed The walls within Crushing me and my confidence Every breath is a struggle I feel oppressed By my own selfish thoughts My stomach growls Not from hunger But a lack of resolution My body is screaming "I need you here" To hold and reassure me My mind is calmly saying That it is best If you go with what you need My heart is torn in two The small portion that supports me And the rest that loves you
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem when I discovered my girlfriend, Kelly is contemplating moving to a different state to live with her grandmother because of her bad home life with her mother and stepfather. I want what is best for her, and can't stand to see her hurting everyday...but yet I love her so much.
Birth sign: Taurus
