#WritcoPoemChallenge
Tick tock goes the clock,
Tick tock, it's time to take stock..
Tell me, what we are doing here anyway,
It seems like you have taken long to tell me,
We've been playing these games,
But I'm fed up, I want you.
When I reach to touch you,
My hands start to shake,
My pressure rises, my heartbeat scribbles.
It hurts me to be near you, when I can't for sure be by your side.
You seem so far away, like the stars.
But for me, I know I can brighten up your day,
I can mend everything that went wrong before me,
That I promise, the unconditional love.
But when I reach out to touch you,
You fade away,
You avoid my gaze even when I try to look into your heart.
It's like I'm in the shadows of her mistakes,
I'm paying for my misfortune,
I'm paying for her mistakes,
Let me tell you, I got no time...
My heart is sick because of you,
And no tablets can cure it.
I don't have a lifetime,
Waiting for your heart to melt,
Am strong, but you are breaking me down...
You are damaging my heart, and my brain.....
I opened up my heart to you, but no, I got nothing.
I know I shouldn't love you because I expect love in return,
But just know, I risked everything to be with you love..
So, don't leave me waiting under the mistletoe..
I know she hurt you, but it wasn't intended.
Forgive her and move on with me, I have all your love.
I hope that someday, you will find faith and hope in me..
I want to touch your soft skin,
And I would do anything to touch you,
The way I do it in my dreams.
But I am losing all the hope and faith in you,
Please see what I mean,
I may not tell you,
I may not speak,
I may not write to you...
But I know you can see it.
Because I try to show you,
Show you what I mean!!
But you are turning me down.
When you realize it's late,
Let me hope, that you won't reject me...!
