this is my entry, a Haiku, which I have never written before.. so here goes
I Want You
I want you so badly
I want you so bad my dear
Why won’t you come ’round?
I want to call you
I want to call you my dear
Why won’t you pick up?
I want to tell you
I want to tell you something
I love you my dear
Thank you for loving me
When no one else would
Not even me
Thank you for being there
When time got rough
When no one seemed to care
Thank you for seeing the good in me
Who knew I had it in me
I suppose you’ve always believed in me
Thank you for making me laugh
When all I wanted was to lock myself up
Feeling miserable and sad
Thank you for listening to me
Ranting away like a crazy person
Reacting so emotionally
Thank you for being my punching bag
I know my nails can do a lot of harm
I didn’t mean to hurt you like that
Thank you for not wanting me to change
This is who I am and always will be
No need for me to be ashamed
Thank you for loving me
So tenderly
Accepting me
Being with me
Thank you for being you
Don’t think of me
When she is out
Spending all your money
While you’re out of town
Don’t think of me
When she tells you
She doesn’t want to start a family
While you’re ready to
Don’t think of me
When she confesses to you
That she’s been seeing her ex regularly
But still wants to keep seeing you
Don’t think of me
When dinner isn’t served
When the house hasn’t been cleaned
While she’s constantly out with the girls
Don’t think of me
Cause you’ve had your chance
You’ve had your way with me
You will never see me again
Seven years it took me to forget you
But you just had to come back
You just had to ruin my life didn’t you
But I’m sorry we can’t go back
Seven years it took me
To realize we could’ve been together
If only I hadn’t been so blind to see
Instead now we’re both avoiding each other
Seven long years have passed
To finally see your beautiful face
I wish I could’ve gone back
Back to those innocent days
Seven years later fate’s still playing games
History is repeating itself
Now you’re about to get engaged
I can only blame myself
Seven years ago I could’ve loved you
But I just couldn’t say the words
But he seemed to
That changed my world
Seven long years I’ve been living with regrets
I’m sure things are now for the best
You’ve been giving him a second chance
I can live with that
Seven years later I can finally let you go
Because I’ve found comfort in the fact that we’ll be together in our next lifetime
I’ll promise you I will make you mine by letting you know with the right words
That I love you and that I only want you in my life
I’ll wait for you
For seven years
For seven lives
I love you
I know you’d like to visit me for a while
But instead let’s get away, out of this small town
You know, I’m actually happy you called
I guess someone had to be the first to break
You can come by the house
Relax
Talk about anything
Maybe finally work things out
Deep down inside I must have forgiven you
But even I don’t know myself anymore
I don’t even recognize this place
The picture frames have changed, but this feeling remains the same
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
Oh what I wouldn’t give to see you again
Springtime in the city
But it feels different here
I guess it isn’t quite the same without you
In fact, nothing has been the same without you
Everyone’s so busy these days
Just keep that chin up, we’ll be all right
I can’t believe what a year it’s been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?
But even I don’t know myself anymore
I don’t even recognize this place
The picture frames have changed, but this feeling remains the same
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn’t give to see your face again
I know I let you down
Again and again
You know you never really treated me right
We’ve both paid the price
We’re still paying for it every day
So maybe you shouldn’t have called
It was way too soon to tell
But what the hell
It doesn’t really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has our opinion changed?
Because we don’t know each anymore
You wouldn’t even recognize this place
The picture frames have changed, though our feelings still remain
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn’t give to see your face again
Response to/inspired by: Savage Garden – I Don’t Know You Anymore
Tuesday morning 8 a.m. waking up in bed
I can feel your hair tangled in mine
I want to reach your hands
While I slowly open up my sleepy eyes
The alarm clock goes off so suddenly
So I turn the other way
I feel you curling up against me
I like waking up this way everyday
You lying next to me
The rays of the sun on my face
Maybe it’s time to get up and get some coffee
Feel like I can take on the world today
But just one more minute in bed
With you by my side
Forgetting whatever upsetting things we’ve said
Forgiving each other for all the whatnots last night
You press your wet lips on my cheeks
Then you suddenly lick my nose
I smile, cause that’s kinda sweet
You mean well, I know
I open up my eyes and realize
It’s not you I’m wakening up to
It’s just my cat, which I admit is nothing like you
I sigh and then I see a note for me to find
You left me for real this time.
I will
Give it up
I’ll give it all up
Just to get you back
But things aren’t easy as that
Because you can’t bring back the dead
You can’t wish back what you used to have
Now just
Turn it back
Turn back the time
Now take back all the lies
Take it all back including the fights
Memories of us should not be tainted
They should not be covered with regrets
Please
Talk to me
Reach out to me
We’re not done yet
I can still feel your hand
Upon my shoulder, upon my head
Telling me what a good girl I have been
Tell me
Tell me now
Tell me everything
Tell me you’re proud of me
Tell me that you have forgiven me
Tell me that I will be fine without you
Just tell me that everything will be just fine
