Part 3: Can't Take Her Off My Mind/Part 4: Another Chapter Ends

Well...just the continuation to my other two poems...another poem about anxiety and fear followed by the sudden conclusion =D

Can't Take Her Off My Mind (1/21/05)

There she is
Walking with her friend
What to do?
It?s not yet the end

I walk by myself and yet
When she comes, my heart aches
And my mind couldn?t think
As if everything inside just breaks

I hate my mind at times
Because it couldn?t think right
Sometimes I just want to avoid her
But I long for her at night

Even though I try my best
To leave her alone by herself
Because she?s happy that way
And yet I couldn?t think for myself

I try my best and with my whole heart
To take her away from my mind
And yet I always fail
It wasn?t simple to leave her behind

And what I remember from her
Is that she would always smile
I couldn?t take that from my mind
I curse, punch, kick and become hostile.

Why? I ask myself
This is just absurd to remember
Living in the past is wrong
Please forget November

So I took the path right of me
In order to avoid that person
What a coward I was!
I just wish I had a reason

She must?ve been hurt
Or just confused?
Or simply didn?t know
Maybe it couldn?t be excused

So then another night passed
Again I lay here in sadness
Thinking of her again
Trying not to fall in madness

Another Chapter Ends (1/22/05)

It?s another page written in my own book
And I was free from these chains of emotion
Immediately I ran out and screamed
My happiness was as vast as the ocean

The music blares through my speakers
I stretch out and scream once more
A smile was in my face and I didn?t care
I just didn?t felt this feeling before

It was a feeling of freedom and happiness
The barbed chains were gone from my heart
And all the wounds have finally healed
I knew it was another time to start

My shattered glass heart was now formed
Every piece fitted in place of every crack
I see something new from this once broken heart
It was clear and it wasn?t pitch black

Another chapter ends and yet another begins
I was moving ahead now and I don?t want to stop
My hand continues to write in this page
It?s a brand new page as I wrote at the top

Even though I?m moving on with this time
I?ll never forget the things you and I shared
When I run into you again down the street
You know that now I?m not scared

So I smile as the music plays loudly
It?s about love and moving on
It?s so loud and I wanted it that way
I just wish you could hear it ?til dawn

Yes?and if only you could listen to the melody
And listen to the words?then you?ll know
How I feel now?so free and so happy
Oh my, if only this feeling I could show

But in due respect, I?ll move on silently
Still I continue to write down what I think
As if my hand moves on its own
Guiding the pen that doesn?t run out of ink

Your poetry is so true to life, with sitautions that people deal with everyday. There is not much more to say that hasn't already been said in past poetry based on this, but it was excellently written, being true to life, and having it at its climax from start to finish.

Thank you for the comment...
I base all of my poems from real life situations that are mostly things such as paranoia, anxiety, loss, or love...
