Can't Shake you

Can't Shake you

A Poem by Shon Harvis

I picked up the phone. 

at least a hundred times 

to call and say come over, 

Baby, give us one more night. 

 

can we forget the question? 

The one that made you leave, 

can you lie here, inside my arms? 

for a moment so I can breathe 

 

I know it is somewhat selfish, 

to ask you to come and stay, 

when one feels the way, I do, 

and other doesn't feel that way. 

 

So, I'll just sit here quiet  

I will not say a word, 

I’ll just think about the times we laughed, 

Have a drink until it gets blurred. 

 

Then I will ask the question, 

that's running through my mind, 

Where did I go wrong?  

That made you leave us behind 

 

Did I do enough to show her, 

Just how it was I feel, 

or was I just to blind, 

to make her see it's real. 

 

The night is getting longer, 

As I lay down in my bed  

Your side seems so empty, 

Can’t get you out of my head. 

 

I turn and grab the phone 

Yet another time 

To see if you had text me  

Was I on your mind?
