You and Me

You and Me

A Poem by Adam Lain
"

Just when you thought the replay button was cliche...

"
You know that you've just interrupted me right?
To be honest, at this very moment, I planned on dying.
But how can I do that with you looking at me so?

So, I guess I could live for you. 
It's funny, this feeling in my chest.
I can literally feel my heart crying, pulsating, at the thought of dying.
and it's not because I care for my life, but, my care for yours.

I can't let you go.
This isn't for selfish reasons, like lust and what not.
But, more so for the fact that I know beyond a doubt that no one is good enough for you.
I'm not good enough for you. 
Not even a single one of my atoms are sufficient enough for you.
Yet, because no one is fit enough, I'll take the job.

The totality of my being, is for you and only you.
So, since you've interrupted me, you have to deal with me.
It's all your fault, especially yours...
...for being so beautiful.
For having that smile.
You know why I like that smile of yours? Do you?
well, its because you just did it. 
Those simple muscles pulling at your mysterious emotions.
Tugging.
So, I have no choice,
but to live for that smile.
Only for you, would I stop the end of me.

Honestly, I don't in anyway think this my best poetry. Yet, this is likely my most honest. I was just watching a movie and a song popped up that intrigued me, so, I Youtubed it. This song is crazy old and not even my style but I just had to keep replaying it. Ridiculous, I fucking swear.

You know if it's there and has to come out so be it.. You may question this but someone going through this exact same thing may read it... and relate and rethink their thoughts.. So for me as I read along I think you have penned these thoughts and emotions well.. A raw write from the heart.. So I think it's great.. And... the world needs you still.. there are things in your heart you've yet to share..xx ;)
