Until You Come

I promised myself today,

That I won't think of you again,

I finally found my own way,

A path to numb the pain,

You have haunted me too long,

I just finally grew a spine,

I think I will manage somehow,

Without you, I will be fine,

These are the last words I write,

Before I start up the flame,

I will burn all that I have written,

And you'll be the one to blame,

I will sleep like a baby tonight,

Free of guilt, sorrow and pain,

Whoever meets me tomorrow,

Will think I'm completely sane,

Who am I even kidding though,

I'll keep thinking about you some,

About you and our life together,

Until the day you finally come.

Three Words

The three words

those three words you're so desperate to say.

You say you'll wait.

You say you're okay. But all you want

is to say those three words.

Three words.

Those three damned words.

Why is it so hard to find a way

to say those three words?

You wish you could say you're okay,

but with every passing day,

all you want

is to say those three words.

But will I ruin it all-

all that we could have-

if I say

those three words?

So here I am.

still waiting

for the day

when I finally can say those three words, everyday.

Thank you for reading my poem.

I've loved her since the moment I met her, but because of circumstances, it'll be a long time before we can even try to be together.

She told me to wait for her, but I honestly don't know how you're supposed to wait for someone you love like that. Every time I talk to her, all I want to do is tell her how I feel, even though she already knows. We both know there are feelings there, but we can't act on them yet.

I just want to give her the world. I just wish I knew how to be patient enough to wait for the person I love without feeling like I'm slowly losing my mind in the process.

Enough to be lusted, not enough to be loved

Desirable enough to be kissed, undesirable to be kept

Always the writer, never the muse

Always the artist, never the art

Always the one looks at the sky, never the one to be looked at

Always lusted, never loved

Always the one to talk to, never the one to be walked with

Always left, never right..

Almost enough but not enough to be with

Somehow , somewhere loved, yet always unloved

How can I get past it

I just want to put this experience of mine into words, if someone responds that would be lovely but if not that is okay,

I am 17m and have had feelings for this girl since I was 13, I really really liked her then but we were friends and i was too scared to risk that friendship that I didn’t say anything, as well as being a scared little 13 year old anyway. So I tried to bury that feeling deep down, then a year after i caught these feelings I tried to hide them even deeper by dating a girl who was very different to this original girl, and that almost worked for a couple months, but then the feelings resurfaced (they were never truly gone) and that messed up said relationship, but I did not share that with the girl I liked, and she then got into a relationship with my closest friend so I once again had to hide these feelings, a year or so later they broke up, and I hate to say it but I was happy about it as this meant my fantasy of being with this girl was more realistic and my feelings got a lot stronger for her but I felt like it was wrong to say anything as she dated my friend who I have known for 10 years of my 17, so I waited, then we got even closer as friends in this past year and my strong liking has developed into what I feel is a love for her (I know my view is limited though as a younger person and it may not be truly love) but she then got back together with her ex (my best friend) and I tried once again to suppress these feelings but I couldn’t this time and I was/am obsessed/addicted to her and I struggled to hide it although I think they just about didn’t realise, they once again broke up about a month ago and now even more then before I cannot stop thinking about her and imagining what could be. Ideally do think I love her and I really want to be with her, and have done for 4 straight years, but I would feel very wrong to try anything even if I allow a lot more time to make a move as it is my oldest friends ex girlfriend and he was really hurt by the breakup.

These feelings are swallowing me up and I really want to say how I feel but I just can’t. How can I get this off my mind and stop loving her and just move on?
