Hung Up

Hung Up

A Poem by Moth Phoenix
"

there is always someone who we just can't let go

"

Why am I so hung up on you? 

Maybe because I never spoke up. I never had the gut to tell you. 

I don’t think I could muster, muster up the courage to say it. 

I’m better off in the dark. 

Your lips so pink and gorgeous, I’d love to kiss you. 

Your smile so amazing and handsome, can I hold you? 

Brown hair, blue eyes and don’t forget your freckles. 

We could listen to records and get lost, amongst the stars and talk. 

I still remember the first day I met you, I can still remember every laugh we shared.

Why didn’t I speak up? Would this have all gone away? 

I think about you every day. 

Should I just tell you? 

And if I did, would it even matter, that I am so hung up on you?

Romantic. My advice is tell them

This was great. I could feel the pent-up emotion straining to break out of the lines and wrestle resistance to the floor. Great write, I enjoyed the read.

I love this write, when I first clicked on it, I thought about a phone call, that you hung up on someoene. I enjoyed this especially toward the end. emotional read, love this...

I really like this one :) you colored the way your emotions were screaming inside your head very well! I've felt this way about someone, so I know how you felt. I didn't say anything because I knew they were too out of my league, I kept seeing them, day after day, thinking: I'm going to have to switch gyms. 😆 Great poem, you displayed your emotions well. 100/100
