Poetry: I must write

by Larissa Sullivan

Created on: September 04, 2008

I must write
I've had these thoughts
But there's been a block
For once in my life
I'm at a loss for words

This confusion of feelings
Has me crying
Even on my happiest of days
One plus one will always equal two
But will me plus love
Always equal you?

I know my heart will always yearn
For the feelings
You have given me
But my brain screams "run"
If I want to keep my sanity

Love is crazy and maddening
That we both know all too well
But how much can one unstable
Young and dedicated person take
Until they realize
That everything is broken beyond repair?

I must write this
Because I cannot even begin to say
Just how much you mean to me
And how much I'm sorry
For how much I have hurt you

But I must also write this
To let you know
That no matter how much I love you,
I refuse to let myself go prematurely
Until I can truly trust
What we have

No matter how many words I speak
Or how many I pour onto paper
You won't begin to understand
The feelings I feel for you
And how hard it was to let you go
How hard it is to let you go..
