Herald Poems: Drowning In My Thoughts

Hopefully you find this poem interesting. You can read all of my poems here.

I am standing outside your home,
I don’t know what I came for
But I can’t leave now.

So many people but None to speak with,
So many thoughts but none came out,
Deep inside me the heart is drowning
With unexpressed feelings.

I broke my mobile phone
Because everyone is filling me up with noise,
I don’t know what they are talking about.
It is hard to see inside myself
When I can’t see my way out.

Maybe what I feel wasn’t meant to be expressed,
My eyes can’t lie, the way I feel for you,
You push me away
But you are pulling me through in the feelings

You lead me to the moonlight, 
Only to burn me with the sun,
You make me feel a feeling 
That I have never felt before.

How am I going to stop myself from loving  you?
It is hard for me to find an answer 
When the questions won’t come out
The rhythm inside my chest won’t stop
Because you are the reason.

I know you are lonely
Even when he’s around,
I know he never treats you right
Even when he looks right for you.

I have been lying in the dark
With no light in my soul,
I don’t know where and I don’t know when
But I know we will be lovers again.

These love songs are breaking my heart,
Darling my heart is on fire for you,
Without your love maybe nothing is real.

I promise that one day you will be mine
I will be there to kiss your forehead
To make you smile and 
To keep you safe.
