Where You Are
by: Tammi

I sit alone in my dark cold room
Lying against the corner of my messy bed
With my heart just as torn as the sheets

I stare at a familiar wrinkle and slowly wipe my finger across my brow
Warmth overcomes me as I imagine you sitting there
Feeling your warmth by staring at your beautiful eyes

I close my eyes as a drop of sadness runs down my cold cheek
Realizing that you’re not there
I want to glide my finger across your wet, sweet, un-kissed lips
Which my heart aches to keep warm with my own
I cover my face with my knees wrapping my legs with my arms
Wishing that it were your arms holding and protecting my heart that cherishes you so deeply

I picture us together while watching tears drip unto my knees and down to my legs
I am said to dream of such things that would never happen
And too young to feel such things inside
But no one is old enough to have a heart as strong to hold the feelings that I have for you

I grip myself tighter with my teary hands on my legs
Because I wish that I could hold you closer
Closer to my caring, now weak heart which has learned to love you
But I can’t
I can only wish for and dream of you
So for now I’ll be waiting for you to feel the same
For your heart to care for me as much as mine does for you
And for you to be with me
