Restless Heartbreak

My Heart never sleeps

nor is ever doused in lucidity

Constantly torn, night and day

Always thinking of what i should do

Never sleeping without a thought to haunt me

Conflicted on simply just moving on

or holding the dwindling flickering flame in my Heart

Were i to move on,

she would think that i've closed that door,

that i never wanted anything more

But to keep holding on, waiting for her,

if she ever came around again,

it would feel strained, pushed, forced, unnatural

When all i want is for us to be Happy together again

with no worries of dissent or drama or life

Just to gaze at stars all night

like the Lovers of old

People tell me

"Just move on"

Sometimes, that would seem best

But what would that say about Love?

It would make Love seem changing, wavering, conditional

Everything it isn't

Love is withstanding and True

...to me, at least

I want to be an emissary of Romance

a holder of True Love

I want the One girl I always think about, Dream about

every second of my existence,

that my Heart belongs solely to Her

and that I want something more than anything others could never even imagine--

True Romance, True Love

and to be her Angel, the One she Adores

For her feelings to open up once again, to not be afraid

to have the Love of youth grow and flourish into something

as Beautiful as she is to me

this is a great poem- love all the descriptive words and the longing romance with someone. i think your first stanza was your best writing and felt the most emotion from!
