I want you in my life

I want you to want me, too.

It doesn’t end.

I hate to say that I miss you

I miss you so much

I break all my rules

How can I try to not want you?

I let you go, over and over

Your silence is deafening

It freezes and burns

I felt complete before

Now, I don’t recognize

this person who yearns

I want to feel whole, more

than I think I want you

But I do want you

Because when I had you,

I had been whole,

And I can’t seem to extract you

From how I know me.
