My sadness comes out only in the night!

The tears roll down my cheeks,

and my pillow gets wet...

i have a thick blanket over me,

so that no one notices i wept!

why is it getting tough for me everyday?

have i lost you or are you still there?

 i need you and nothing else!!

i sometimes want you to be away from me,

and sometimes i want you to hug me tight!

these days i am not myself and i feel no delight.

Aww that was full of heartache. We all had those feeling once, and if not... they are coming. Very relatable.

Emotions weigh heavy here, with enough strength to take any man down.

Gracefully composed my friend; stay strong...

Definitely fueled with passion and deep emotion but tinged with a little dependance. Good fluid write.

[Wajiha Nayeem]

thank you so much McFadyen...

You have poured a lot of your emotions in this piece. You have built up the sadness and missing from the beginning of the poem, and it lasts until the third last line. The sudden twist from "I need you" to "I want you to be away" is somehow confusing. While wanting him/her to be away is true sometimes, to be consistent with the emotional flow, you might want to put it in the past, and emphasize the longing for a tight hug at this very moment - this would include the contrasting yet complimentary emotions. Just a little suggestion - poetry is something very personal so don't take this comment too seriously. No offense intended.
