When I'm Weak

March 31, 2014
By Anonymous

I feel an ache for you
So deep it's rattling around in my bones trying to escape
I want you
with such a ferocity it startles even me
I cry for you
Until there are dried oceans on my sheets and I am a shell
I smile for you
Because my world is rain and you are the beautiful amazing sun
I think about you
You are stuck to my mind like glue and I can't seem to pry you off
I talk about you
Because you are a million stories just waiting to be shared
