*Name has been changed Written by: Myself, 16 Feb 2009 Love Sick
I cough and weeze And sneeze until I can't breathe Maybe it's just my sinuses Minus this heartache I feel And those chills that somehow Thrill the fear out of me When I hear your voice
I catch fevers just thinking Thinking about the choice You insist I make But I don't want to resist I just want to assist Because I don't want to miss Out on you, Hakim*
And it sometime seems Like I flatter myself And what matters to them Means little to nothing Something I never thought I'd do Was write another poem about you
But I guess it's better this way Because I too used to say Love is for su ckers Until I fell in love And saw how much it su cks To be without someone The one You feel attached to Almost like you're matched to Him or her
And I concur, though I su ck my teeth My throat is too dry and sore to speak Who knew weak knees were a sign Of falling And now I'm bawling I drop my face in my hands My palms cupped, capturing tears
I close my eyes Because some say seeing is believing And it looks like I'm leaving Snot on my sleeve and, I don't want to shift nor lift A part from you My heart is too Cold... I'm blue
And I can't explain for why, what, or whom But when you complain I assume What we would've had is already doomed Yet I steady wait for fate or faith To work things out And when I want to shout I bite my tongue Numbing the obscured words I refuse to recite
And I wasn't afraid that night, Our plight is what frightens me I lose all common sense You touch me in other ways, Hearing you whisper And seeing your face The lipgloss you taste When we kiss Is bliss and makes me shiver
