Tell Me Why

by Marie   Aug 16, 2005


Tell me why I think of you
and find it hard to breathe,
yet at the same time I realize,
that it's only you I need?

Chills run throughout my body,
as I gaze into your eyes;
but I feel a burning radiance,
warming me in surprise.

Tell me why you hold me tight,
and I fall apart inside;
but your graceful arms don't let me go,
not letting me collide?

Tell me why I start to ache,
when you softly say my name;
but my heart lights up with endless love,
taking all the pain?

Tell me why I taste your kiss
as I quietly subside;
but there is still a sweetness,
that your gentle lips provide?

Tell me why I'm weak,
whenever you're around
but you soothe my mind in every way,
and brush me off the ground?

I can't explain why I feel like this
or why I become this way.
I can't tell you why you leave me
with nothing left to say.

All I can tell you is why I feel so lost,
when you're gone and not with me.
It's because when I don't have your love,
incomplete is all I'll be.

    Marianna,
    It's me again, I wanted to correct your comment on my poem. I posted it a little earlier, but the comments left on it was not showing so therefore, I reposted it, so I haven't taken anyone's work. It was my poem you commented on before you read it the second time. I do take other's poems. I have been on here for a yr. and I'm not that type of person, if I can't write my own there will be none posted. No hard feelings or anything I just wanted to let you know it was my poem the first time you read and commented on because when I clicked on my poems I seen it but it wasn't being shown just clicking in the love section and on the poem. hugs, Ann
