POEMS FROM THE HEART

I'm Trying

You tell me to keep fighting and I'm trying. 

But then days have been getting darker, but today is different, a bad different. 

I don't feel anything except this emptiness.  I'm losing hope for him and I. 

"Don't give up on us baby." I'm trying not to, but it's hard. It's hard when I can't see you. It's hard when I just want you next to me every night like it was before. 

I just want things back to where they were. 

When you would get off work and gently rub my back to wake me up to let me know that you made it home okay. To let me know that you're going to be in bed soon. 

Then we would lay there and tell each other how our day was. I don't think you know how much that helped me...

I can tell you anything without the fear of being judged. You are not only my boyfriend, but my best friend as well. I felt whole with you by me, but since our love is forbidden, days haven't been the same. 

You see my love, when you were forced to leave, you took a part of me with you when I watched you walk out that door. And I was sure to keep a part of you with me. 

We have two sad souls who are happy when we are together. Does this mean that we were meant to be? 

We build each other up. We make each other happy. We gave each other something to keep fighting for. 

I wish I could see your face again. Feel your soft lips against mine. Have your arms wrapped around me in comfort. 

You say to just wait. You say it's going to take time to be together again. But baby, I am an impatient person. I want the time to go by fast. I'm trying to be patient and wait, but it's difficult when my soul strives for you every day. 

I love you, my love. And like you tell me, we will be together again. 

We just have to keep trying.
