I Toss And I Turn

Not being able to let go of someone.

Every night is hard to sleep,

So I toss and turn

Dreaming about you

Is the only thing

On my mind

No matter what I do

You will always be apart of me...

Attached to my heart,

Attached to my mind,

I toss and turn

Trying to clear my head

But it only leaves me

Restless and confused

Gosh, how straight forward this poem is. I love it because I can relate to it. lol. It seems your poems, I can always relate to! =D But really, I've felt like this recently.. and I must say letting go of someone is really difficult especially when it's a loved one or someone you were crushing/loving. -sigh- Sometimes it's like the head doesn't just see that the heart isn't ready yet. To let someone go... takes time.. something has to free you.. Ahh, this is so emotional and very deep for me! Thank you for writing!! I love this poem!

I think this would be more powerful if you used a different word at the end than restless. The last line just seems redundant at the moment.

Sad to be in a situation where the heart is broken and torn..Many can relate to your work..Sunflower

Are you still tossing and turning? anyway, its good you found a good way of expressing discomfort and still let people enjoy it.

Wow. Thanks for blessing my day with this nice poetic image

[Judy Ponceby]

You really captured that restless, don't know what to do with oneself, uncomfortable feeling in this write. Nice work!

[Augustus]

Succinctly written.....a theme which most people can identify with...Specifically, I like the way the poem begins....Perhaps it ends a little too abruptly...a couple of lines more would perhaps make for a smoother conclusion...just my suggestion...but a very good job overall...

Sometime the old mind won't rest. Thoughts dance in your head keeping you awake and thinking. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

Beautiful. You put your feelings perfectly into a wonderful poem.

A sentiment well understood by me, and so many more. You captured the feelings and anxieties of going through such a night well enough. Loved it.
