Pacing through the room
Around and around
Talking to myself
Just to hear the sound

I really, really need some
No, no don't think that way
Just try to settle down
And take it day by day

I lay down on the floor
Stare at the ceiling fan
My thoughts spinning with it
I can't take this, oh man!

I need some, I need some
No, put it out of my mind
Take some really deep breaths
Everything is going to be fine

Okay, okay I can do this
I can resist somehow
I lied, I can't do it
I gotta have some now!

I cannot help myself
There's nothing I can do
No matter how hard I fight
I am still addicted to you...

My poems are my hopes, my fantasies and my dreams
Created with emotion, imagination and thought
Read my words you will know my heart
Look in my eyes you can see my soul

 It's amazing
How you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and you lose it all ...
And it's unnerving
(How one move just puts me by myself)
There you go just trusting someone else
(Now I know I put us both through hell) ...
I'm not sayin
That there was nothing wrong
(I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me)
And I'm not sayin
(We ever had the right to hold on)
(I just didn't wanna let you get away from me)

She says baby,
It's 3AM ... I must be lonely,
When she says baby,
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes,
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.

hehehe  You're so funny Steve!  I can see you doing this, really I can!  And I'm laughing at Janet saying she doesn't have a mind, so it doesn't really matter!  ROFL  You two seem to be a little uh....off.  Yeah, that's it!  LOL    

Anyways, what in heavens has come over you?  Are you okay?  LOL  I'm worried - is it because uh.....no emails or something?     You just lay down and take it easy, ok?  I'm almost done with my moving, and then I'll come keep you company, how's that?  Sound good?  Sheeesh....you're too funny, and btw, this poem is really cute!
