Hours

A Poem by FaeryQueen

ots

Hours and hours keep going by,

I just can’t get you out of my mind,

And why would I,

When you treat me like gold,

I always live so vividly in my mind,

Sometimes, you come and I’ll step aside,

Just watch you walk by,

You’re not there; solidified,

You’re just a wisp of a thought; a little slice of pie,

But I know you’ll be there, and that you’re sick of trying,

It’s just ‘love’ has to wait, and patience plays his game,

Temptations are really hard to take,

But I promise I won’t do you any wrong and I promise,

With all my heart, I promise I won’t do any harm,

To myself,

Because I often do when I’m feeling blue,

Something to do when I know I can’t think of you,

Somethings to say when the day fades away,

“I love you, I miss you and you know I can’t just jump at the drop of a hat,

I can’t hightail all the way to you just because you want me to, I wonder what would happen if I did that,

What would happen if I didn’t come back?”

The clock strikes another hour,

Another hour, 1,000,000,000,000 more thoughts of you flying by,

Catch one; just you try,

I bet you’d just burn a hole in yourself or die from the high.

The last stanza is definitely my favorite, especially the "I bet you'd just burn a hole in yourself or die from the high." It's like they live off of your desperation for them. I'd play around with that stanza and perhaps make it longer.

You should not define your worth and happiness based upon whether or not they know, but alas...
I do understand how powerful love can be.
You drip passion.
