Wish You Were Here

by Vanessa   Jun 6, 2010


When all is quiet and I can't sleep, I think of you.
I sit here wondering just what I am going to do,
You don't want to be here and I can't be there,
Sometimes I am not sure that you even really care.
You listen to the rumors, even though its all lies,
But its your face I see every time I close my eyes,
All I want is for us not to have to live our lives apart,
I wish I could get you to understand, your my heart.
I don't know what love is, but I know I want you near,
Theres not a day that I don't wish that you were here.
I pray that soon you will find a way to come home,
So I am not sitting here awaiting our baby all alone.
I realize that your mind and soul are full of doubt,
But I can't pretend to understand what all that is about.
All I can do is hope that everything goes our way,
Praying that in the long run that we really will be OK.

    I really liked this. I could relate to this at one point as well. Some of it didn't flow very well, but overall the meaning was great. You got your point across and it came through strongly. Good job.

    I think the title suits perfectly well for the content of the poem. As a reader I can feel the loneliness of going through life without your other half. Life just feels incomplete as the days passed by. Nice rhyming you got there, but if I were to suggest one thing, I would say to break the poem into stanzas, but if you feel that you want it to be this way, I guess it's still fine. Other than that Great work.
