If Only You Could....

In poignant silence I await your warmth beside me,
My heart shrieks in yearning calling your name over and over,
If only you could hear....

I frantically reach out in the darkness, roused from my nightmare,
I cringe at the vacant space beside me,
If only you could care....

My heart beats fervently when I hear your footsteps walk towards me,
It pounds violently when I hear you walk away,
If only you could feel....

I'm drained of my tears which silently gush down in anguish,
I'm dying a little.....everyday,
If only you could see....

I'm tired of needing you; I'm tired of waiting,
I want to squeeze my heart till it beats no more,
before my loneliness smothers me,
If only you knew....

Jesus christ (sorry if anybody takes offense) but that was fantastic. Your choice of words was impeccably perfect. I would not change a word. as a suggestion, if you post your work to allpoetry.com you can feature your poems in contests and such and receive great feedback. I would highly recommend it, especially for you

The feeling of longing is effectively related. You must have had some experience to create images being in such a harmony with the emotions. I see how alike people are in their needs irrespective of the matter to which sex they belong.

DAMNNNNNN GIRRRRLLL, yur my type of poet, i absolutely love this poem and ok u discribe everything perfectly and i can just feel how u drenched yur emotions in this, it is amazing, you got talent , but the way i understand it is that the guy is leaving you and he doesnt care about wat he leaves behind or how you feel...I think im correct
