Book of Poems

7/21

I saw you today and it hurt.

I wanted to run to you,

into your arms.

I wanted you to tell me

that everything would be okay.

I wanted to tell you I love you.

It took everything I had to stay put,

you know.

I held myself together because you don't love me anymore.

I've told myself that you might, you might, you might

but I'll always know you won't

and that's what hurts the most.

You arms were like home to me,

and now you've left and I'm hopelessly homeless.

I miss you, come back to me.
