I Want More For You

A poem about relationships that aren't meant to be...

I don’t want to wait and sit.

I want more from this relationship.

But its hard,

-to express things when you don’t see

me the way I want us to be.

 

We’re nothing more than the title of friends.

But it’s you I adore,

-every time I see the arrival of a grin.

But I don’t know where to begin,

-where to start.

We’re both the same inside,

-but I don’t know how to win your heart.

 

I want more.

For me and for you.

And these feelings I have stored

Inside my core,

Want me to speak true.

 

These feelings feel like they might explode.

And I know, the worst is that you’ll say no.

But that’s the worst.

I can either die by rejection,

-or because these hidden feelings finally burst.

This senseless affection,

-is my personal curse.

 

I don’t understand it.

And I can’t explain.

And granted,

-it probably seems insane.

 

All I can say,

-is that there came a day

When my feelings changed.

I was flying high,

-but you shot me from the sky

And I don’t know why.

 

So I’m falling fast,

-and all I can ask

is that you be my parachute.

Because I can’t dispute that

I’m falling for you.

 

I want more.

For me and for you.

And these feelings I have stored

Inside my core,

Know I’ll never see you with me.

You’re my love, I’m your friend,

-and that’s all we’ll ever be.

 

Because, I want more for you than I can give.

I want you to be happy and finally live.

If it means I must fall,

-and crash to the earth.

I’ll close my eyes and smile,

-and hope you find a love that you truly deserve.

Read my poem "Ghosts", its not worth what happens in the end, if you don't take the risk. There are worse things.

[RachelReaper]

having a crushed soul, a shattered heart, and eating ben and Jerry's ice cream while watching "I love lucy" re-runs from depression... dude, what could be worse?

[MachinaWriter]

Read the poem Ghost. You'll see.

Screw that. If she doesn't love you the way you love her, thank her for playing and welcome the next contestant. Don't give people more power than they deserve. No one...and I mean NO ONE...is worth losing your power over.

So those are my thoughts on the subject matter of the poem ;-) ...the writing of the poem was fine. Good job.

There are times I know I have wanted the "wanting" ..tried to have someone see things with the same fervor as I. Just put it out there free fall let the winds blow where they may. I like the innocence in this...It has a child-like quality. don't understand why the author's note was so negative though. " A poem about relationships that aren't meant to be." some things take patience, as all flowers in a garden don't sprout at the same time.

[MachinaWriter]

lol Don't ask. I dont' understand my own thoughts some times lol But I like what you just said. All flowers in a garden don't sprout at the same time.

Well, you're correct! I myself could relate here. :) And I like these symbolism:
"This senseless affection,
-is my personal curse" ,
"When my feelings changed.
I was flying high,
-but you shot me from the sky" ,
"So I’m falling fast,
-and all I can ask
is that you be my parachute."

Totally love these!

[MachinaWriter]

Thanks XD

[MachinaWriter]

This whole thing probably arose from some subconscious desire to use the word parachute in a poem xD

[Lunette Lariz]

Hahaha! Nice one. :)
