Forgetting You


Just when I thought
I could forget you
squeeze you into that tiny dark corner
push you out of my troubled mind

The phone rings
you say hello
and whisper those words that
shatter my defenses

"I miss you, baby."

Those familiar tiny shivers
explode down my spine
my heartbeat quickens
as my cheeks grow warm

Damn you and the effect
you have on me!
I never said I wanted
to feel this way!

Set my heart free
from your intoxicating grasp!
My tortured soul is weary
of all this confusion!

Don't you see my agony?
Can't you feel my pain?
My heart is crying "Yes!"
My mind is screaming "No!"

Just when I thought
I could forget you
close my eyes to your mind
guard my world from your soul

You smile at me
caress my face lightly
and when I ask of your thoughts
your simply answer softly

"Just enjoying you, baby."

That smile of yours
can melt the coldest of hearts
that voice you posess
can sway the most stubborn mind

Damn you and these emotions
you have stirred in me!
I never said my heart was open
to feeling this way!

The reality is knocking
from my front door
but the fantasy is beckoning
from the other forgotten room

The urge to touch you
has become too heart-wrenching to resist
Your breath on my ear
reveals the ecstasy of insanity

Just when I thought
I could forget you
I come to the conclusion--
forgetting you is no longer an option.

Heather~  thanks for your reply.  I try not to write "depressing" poetry, but this one just screamed to be written...and I'm glad I did, because it helped.  Thanks for reading!  

Sudhir~ Once I started writing, the words did indeed just flow....thank you for your kind words.
