Need Love?
December 31, 2008
See it but never feel it.
Get close, only to push it away.
“Don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone”
Epitome of my life.
What is wrong with me?
What makes me so un-lovable?
Can someone remove this defective sign from my forehead,
And replace it with a kiss.
I want more than mediocre.
I want someone to miss.
Do I ask for too much?
Are my requirements unachievable?
My heart remains unconquered, unattained.
I’m tired of fairy tale endings,
Silly thoughts put in my head by unrealistic, but hopelessly believable movies.
They are all the same.
Girl meets boy. Girl messes it up. Boy forgives girl.
Happily Ever After.
At least they let on that relationships have problems.
I want raw, unrelenting love.
The real deal.
No movie, novel, or episode of “Sex and the City” could ever touch.
Left alone, drowning in thoughts,
Who else in the world could need love,
Like I need love?

If i may add, I think you two should just talk. I know it is easier said than done, but it's better to know how and where the relationship is going than not at all. I don't think you're asking stupid questions, you just want to know what's going on...you know? I know what it is like to be so in love with someone but if he isn't taking your relationship seriously...well what I'm trying to say is, if he's not making you happy, then you shouldn't be with him. No matter how much you love him. But if you do talk, then maybe things will get cleared up. If he needs space, then give him some space. Yes, communication is key to a good relationship and I think that if both yours and his feelings are treated with respect than there shouldn't be a problem. Just talk to him. :)

This is great! I think the greatest poems are ones that many people can relate to, and that's exactly what you've done here. Keep writing!

I enjoyed reading this. I myself get tired of being theonly one of my friends who has not felt love. I want love. I want real love. If you read my stuff, you'll find out that most of my stuff is heartbreak.

Difficulty lies in the heart and mind of those who believe in Happily Ever After and can never be these fictional characters who were born beautiful. Yet they never tell the truth of those who aren't lucky in looks nor fate and this is one of many which makes it hard for us to find a love nor lust in the relationships that they seek. Yours truely is one of those who yearn for these answers that may never be answered.

thanks for the advice but he always confuses me with what he wants from me and i can't read mind and its like he thinks that i can then he gets mad because i didn't know that he didn't feel like talking or being touched or that he needed to be left alone he says i ask stupid questions. Is there a such thing as a stupid question?
