Borderline obsession
Borderline tears
Hearing myself say this
It all seems so untrue

Waiting to hear back
What has this come to?
Why am I sitting here missing you?
Even though you aren’t mine

In my desperation
In my separation
I indulge in un-needed attentions
From those I could care less

This has got to stop
A habit that won’t break
Unwanted, uncharted territory here
Never know what’ll happen

Here’s to the unknown!
The ambiguous, the flighty
Moments come and go
So here’s to nothing

Life is so ironic to understand fully, it takes sadness to know what is happiness. noise to distinguish silent and a broken heart to find true love.

Are you in Connection Academey? I was in poetry corner2 and I think a peom was shared very similar to this... it was much longer though. Great work!

Wow i thought this was really good. Really deep, the part i love most is that lots of readers can relate to it cause it could be true about a lot of different things? I hope I just made sense. . .

This was AWESOME! You're a great poet! I love how this piece flows, and I especially love the power of the last line! 5 stars!

life had i loved the more
had it but passed away
as quietly as the day
ebbs from the darkening star.
