Damn...

What it's like to stand outside your window...

The car pulls up around the corner, and we park behind the building.

I jump out of the car and run across the property.

In my head, i imagine the entire night, three hours with you...

I'm in your yard now, still running like hell form excitement.

Around the corner, i turn too fast and slip, snapping my ankle.

I fall to my knees and hold in my tears, I don't want you to see me cry.

"Walk it off. He's waiting for you."

I look up and there's your window!

..but.....the lights are out...

Is he asleep? Is he not home?

I limp to the glass and begin to tap slightly.

Your window is so high off the ground,

I am having a hard time keeping balance because of my ankle.

"Babe..?" I whisper, out of breathe.

No response...

My knees are shaking.

My goosebumps are twitching.

My torso is shivering.

Why does mother nature have to be so cruel? Damn it...

And why aren't you opening your window?

Please answer me!

I've had such a hard week!

I need you!

Don't fall asleep in there!

You can fall asleep in my arms!

I'm so cold...so cold, and my tears are freezing to my cheeks.

I try again...

And again...

Another time...

...nothing...

This is the second night in a row you forgotten about me...

I don't understand...

Nether the less, i can always try again tomorrow, right?

I know you will answer me eventually.

But for tonight, I weep alone...

again...

I like the way you set up your poetry and prose. While they deal with emotive moments in life. The imagery and pulse of them gives a very clear picture of the world the exists in the moment. It's like being able to have a window open up and climb through in the that moment as if it were real for everyone, reader included.

Really good ink!

I love the format of this poem, and you express the desire to see your love so well. The excitement and then the let down - it has happened to us all. Very good!

Yeah...i had a hard time expressing how much it actually hurt thought. even though this isn't an event to get super worked up about, it still messes with me mentally.

A very sad and powerful poem considering I know the story behind it. The poem really conveys a sense of longing for someone as well a bit of confusion.
