The trouble with me,
is my conflicting views.
And it's twice the distortion
when I'm confronted by you.
I'm swimming in my own voice,
saying, "We're just friends."
But pictures of you
are echoing wants of "might have beens."
I'm struggling for lack of
       breathing~
                 screaming~
                           seething~
                                    dreaming...
...that's the trouble with you.

Thanks Cerenity. Yeah this particular person certainly has my spinning in conflicting circles! (?) But that's how it feels and I'm almost addicted to the confusion of it! Make sense? Probably not!

Anikay
excellent poem...and yes your view points
make quite a lot of sense to me actually.
i think sometimes we are attracted to the
confusion and newness of a relationship,
be it just friendship or more. you have
penned your thoughts wonderfully here. I
look forward to reading more of your
work. Take care.

Aimster~ Glad you understand! Me- I love a good mystery, but not always of the 'who-dun-it' variety!! Thanks for reading.
