PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Thoughts of you have taken over me

I’ve forgotten the person that I use to be

I quit my job to be available when you call

But the sad part is- you don’t call at all

I wait and I hope that you’ll change your mind

That you’ll realize in me- love you might find

If you gave it a chance and you let it flow

Open your heart and let your emotions go

I said I would wait. Why? I’m not sure

Much more of this pain- I can’t endure

You don’t want our child so what can I do?

I can’t pretend that this baby could help me keep you

You told me to do what I think is right

I couldn’t raise your child without you there every night

I’m a fool to think that you would be with me

I only wish I had the strength to set my thoughts of you free

I’m killing myself-going insane

I can’t say it’s on you- I’m the one to blame

I let you in and now you won’t leave

And every Saturday- my make-up is on your sleeve

I’m more in love with you every time I see your face

And wouldn’t you know it- I end up at your place

I let you misuse me and we fall asleep

Then I wake to reality- I’ll see you next week

One day I’ll shake you- I won’t care what you do

But until that time my heart belongs to you

I’ll see you when I see you-probably this weekend

We’ll do what we do-again and again

You’ll hold me and deceive me and give me your affection

Then Sunday through Friday- I’ll feel your rejection

Why do I allow myself to be hurt by you day after day?

Allowing myself to be another girl that you play

Love-er-infatuation is a confusing emotion

So I continue to shower you with unreciprocated devotion

Just promise to never abuse it-because it’s honest and true

And I would never want to see that pain inflicted on you

I’m yours this Saturday if you need a “friend”

And be your girl? -it doesn’t hurt to pretend…
