Feeling Poetic - Love Topics

Feeling Poetic, A Book of Poetry contains poems about love, romance, and heartbreak. The poems reflect emotions that we experience as we fall in and out of love...and then back in love.

In this "Love Topics" post, I'm sharing a new poem from Feeling PoeticIt's Midnight is from the Feeling Confused chapter, and is for anyone who has been in or is in a relationship or situation where what your significant other is doing or thinking is a mystery.  Check it out!


It’s Midnight

It’s midnight,
As I sit in your darkness.
Trying to get up,
But I cannot see
And can’t find my way
Out of this.

Lonely I sit,
In the middle of
Nowhere.
Too much time to think
About how I landed
In this place.
 
Blind to what is going on,
And blind to what to do next.
 
It’s midnight,
And the blackness
Has me entranced,
Frozen,
It’s intoxicating.
 
I long for daylight,
It seems so far away.
 
I long to understand you,
To know why you love me
And don’t show it.
And why I love you
And can’t help
From letting you know it.
 
Why you cast me to midnight
And leave me there
With no answers,
With no direction.
And then decide
When to give me daylight,
When to let me see.
 
Your control
Is only what I let it be,
But midnight
Always blurs my vision.
And my longing to see
Always blinds me.
 
So happy to see again…
 
Until it’s midnight.
