I need you close, I need you by my side,
Don't go to far, as I need your energy,
Your energy that keeps me running.
But you say you can't feel the same,
And walk away, everything disappeared,
I can't move from the spot where you left me,
My energy has left me.
I need to move forward, but always seem in reverse,
Give me a sense of direction, so I can move on,
I reach out to passers by, to take my hand and pull me forward,
But nobody grabs hold.
Why did I even say yes in the first place?
I knew one day you would break my heart into a thousand pieces,
Be careful they all told me, he's a heartbreaker,
But I refused to listen and screamed,
He Loves Me!
Come back to me my love, my energy,
My life. Maybe things wouldn't be this way,
If I just for once listened.

nice piece of work my friend- i particularly like the theme of energy and how loss makes us feel powerless, and the greater the love, the greater the loss, does make me think about the purpose and directionality of life really- should we allow our direction to be governed by our love? or allow the direction we head to govern how we feel? the poem certainly makes a good case for the latter arguement in my opinion :)
(minor change i would suggest though, perhaps changing the word disappeared on the 5th line of the 1st verse to either perhaps evaparated or disapated, merely because disappeared just suggests that you percieve visually your energy not to be there, but suggests it is still present, while disapated suggests that your energy has actually abodened you, leaving you feeling desolate, prostrated and immobile. I know it's just probably a peadantic point, but it just seems to fit better is all :) )
