I can’t sleep
I am broken
Is it because of him?
Is it because I can’t get him off my mind?
Do I miss him?
Do I still have feelings?

Should I be feeling this way?
I know he doesn't feel the same way
Should I tell him how I feel?
Or should I just let it go?
I’m not sure what I should do

I miss the old times
Hanging out at my house
Watching scary movies
Cuddling, Holding Hands

Every hug
Every kiss
Every touch

I am fixed
Now I can sleep.

Thank You for giving me your opinion! I am a very honest person and im full of emotions. Writing is my only coping skill to use when im angry, I don't like expressing my feelings. Writing lets me

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

It's very well-written. I love how your honest in your poem. It's full of emotion and you. It's wonderful. I love it. It's a bittersweet experience. I can't say I know how you feel, because I'm not you and I don't think I've had this happened to me. But I've went through something rather similar. Thank you for sharing this!
