I want you back...

Yet another breakup poem... This one focuses on how much I want her back even though she brought me so much agony...

The days get harder after the passing of each night

As I lay down to sleep, I make a wish on a falling star

I want for you to be within my reach, within my sight

Though, I know deep down, wishing wont get me very far

I know that you're out there happy, feeling well

Somebody else is putting a smile on your face

These obvious facts make every hour a living hell

My heart is breaking faster at an exponential pace

Part of me is forever stuck inside of you

That part ignores your farewell's cruel attack

It refuses to let me move on, to begin anew

The part of me that says "I want you back"

I know it's foolish, and an act of jealous greed

To hunger once more for your passionate kiss

But deep down inside of me I have one need

It is to recover all of the things that I miss...

You've now moved on to what you wanted after all

While I am alone because of what I lack

I lie awake, waiting for a delusional phone call

You through your tears saying "I want you back"

Waiting for you to contact me is all in vain

My dream, is only where your call could come through

My mind knows this, despite the fact it brings me pain

But my disillusioned heart still denies that it is true

I still love you even though you crushed my soul

Even though your absence eclipses my world in black

I await your return, which will once again make me whole

As my heart beats with the words "I want you back"

Author's Note

The form is a little uneven. I will consider improving it if the concept is liked.
