I need you Dove

I feel just overwhelmed
The numb sanity slowly draining
I’m so tired of crying myself dead
But the tears just file out
The subtle pain that’s always there
Refuses to take the door out

And my fake smiles don’t fool you
I can’t ever control the difference
That you see in my resigned manner
It’s comforting, and very, very new
Thanks for taking the time
To make sure that I’m still breathing

It’s a relief to have you listen- but
Through my guilty selfishness
I feel upset when you try
To find any way out
Of being with me
In the places where we can be seen

I wish that I came first
But again- I’m deathly sick with myself
My own selfish desires
That pull my face into
Those wanton looks that I know you hate
I’m sorry love, I am

I don’t know what to do
We haven’t finished building
The bridges that connect us soul to soul
There are too many things
We still haven’t talked about
Too many things you still don’t know

I’m sorry dear, love can you hear me?
I’m sorry, so sorry
That I can’t say enough
Sorry that we’re not what you wish
I’m trying, but I’m failing
I can’t do myself, what takes two Dove

and in the daylight i miss the nightmare- but deathly fear it in the dark of night

Wow, I love this poem.
Especially these stanzas:

I don’t know what to do
We haven’t finished building
The bridges that connect us soul to soul
There are too many things
We still haven’t talked about
Too many things you still don’t know

I feel just overwhelmed
The numb sanity slowly draining
I’m so tired of crying myself dead
But the tears just file out
The subtle pain that’s always there
Refuses to take the door out

Sheer genius, love it
