Inside my mind

He's so far away and i cant be with him. makes me sad

You're on my mind

Though I don't know why .

I'm so lonely, but can only dream of you.

But Ive pushed to the side the very fact that you exist.

It's not fair. Dreaming is all I have.

And now I realize that love is never fair.

I cannot touch you,

But I no longer care.

 

In my mind you stand before me,

And I have walked away.

I touch your face, I feel your skin.

Another man has taken your place.

My whispers go undelivered.

They weren't heard anyhow.

 

In my mind I hold you.

Oh what a fool I was.

Surrounded in your sweet embrace,

That I have long forgotten about.

Enchanted by your love.

The spell has worn off.

You cover my face with soft kisses

That have been replaced by other lips.

 

In my mind my heart screams for you,

But now there's a dead silence

I want to feel your hand in mine

No longer.

Your arms holding me,

I've felt better.

Your hands run through my hair.

It was a fantasy anyhow.

 

In my mind I'm safe in your arms

But where have you been when I needed you most?

But in this moment I have nothing.

Just reality of knowing you could never be mine.

You're not here to hold me, my love.

We've moved on.

Oh How I wish you were.

We've gone our seperate ways.

 

In my mind your eyes read my heart.

Now it's an empty page.

Wrapping it gently in love.

I have forgotten what that feels like.

With a tender smile, you warm me inside,

Now I'm cold as ice.

Even when you're not here.

It didn't take you long to leave.

 

So come to me this night'

Please stay where you belong.

And waken this gentle love.

Let this souless being sleep.

Let me lay with you once more;

I knew we could never be.

If only in my mind

You're no longer in my mind.

 

Author's Note

So, this poem is hardly the same. With some suggestions from a few friends on here this is what it has become. a conversation between the old, juvenile, naive, high school me, and the woman that I have become. A majority of the credit goes to E.H. Monroe and InkSlinger!!! Opinions please!!!

Your work never gets old. Nice work.

[Chris38]

I thought this was briliant and I love the two way element to this which for me made the poem.

[CarmenT]

Aaaawww, what a nice poem!!! :)

[Poe Redd]

This poem really got to me. It got deeeep. Lol, probably because I'm stuck in the black print right now, and trying to repel the blue. But I love it! Nice work!

[GreenSkeleton16]

[E.H. Monroe]

As we women grow wiser, we get a wider field of view.
My recommendation: Use this as a diving board. Revist the poema ndthe stanzas and have it as a conversation bewteen you then and you now...

That's pretty f*****g ineteresting I'd say. You can have that one. Just send me royalty checks.

This is SO SWEET! I agree with Inkslinger, the idea and concept is solid. Just a little polish in some places.

[InkSlinger]

The idea behind the poem is solid, and so are many of the lines. It just needs a little haircut.. snip here, snip there, fluff there, drag a comb across it, and presto.. you look FABULOUS...

Again love it...thats where I stay "inside my mind"
