One Kiss


from the ABC set Poetry

You're biting at my back again
Drilling on my mind again
And you wonder why my hand feels dead
You wonder why I now see red

You never call or text me here
You'd hate to kick things up a gear
Yet all I want is the sign
That this time really you'll be mine

You wonder why I fill my mind
With puerile nonsense, infantile
Truth is I'd rather be distracted
Than dwell on how you interacted

Why is it that I can't cope
Why is it that you have to go
Why is it that we're on the phone
And to your voice I can't say no

And if I'm turning into her
It should be me that you prefer
And so I dream, so I pretend
That soon the waiting game will end.

I wonder if I'll lose the fight
And as I sleep I dream at night:
You're whispering right in my ear
And turning, go to wipe my tears

And kiss me.

thank you Magic! The final line wasn't planned but the whole poem seemed to flow into it. :)

Inmy opinion, this will probs get a cherry. I know how you are feeling right now Ankari, I was there not so long ago.

"And if I'm turning into her
