Living Rent Free In My Head

New crush

Everyday I spend thinking about what to do

Listening to the current of thoughts 

When one clear image pops up 

His face, his smile, his laugh

Struggling to let go of his image

I fill my time with things 

Keeping me busy 

Taking my mind off him

Every time I see him 

I get a little smile

But then I frown 

Remembering he has a girl

Im not that girl 

He's living rent free 

and I can't get him away

New crush? It certainly has you ready and wanting. Your written words speak aloud, finely laid they are from start to finish; almost a dream or reverie, almost impatient. A + should do it, Marie.

[Marie Kinnett]

Thank you that means a lot. I try to make each poem feel as if you are living it

[emmajoygreen]

You succeeded, Marie.. Strangely: I am one of seven adult children!

[Marie Kinnett]

Thanks, looks like we all group in seven :)

[emmajoygreen]

It certainly does. :)

[Michael Sun Bear]

A story of unrequited love, that disease of both the young and old. Great title! That hooked me immediately.

[Marie Kinnett]

Thank you, Micheal. This poem just came to me out of nowhere after seeing him

[Curly Grace]

I like how simply you name the pull of it, the way a thought becomes a presence. It lands softly but stays.

[Marie Kinnett]

Thank you, the poem just came into my head and I needed to write it down

[Chris Shaw]

Struggling to let go of his image, it sounds very much like an uncomfortable situation. A bit like a double edged sword. You convey your emotion well here.

Ah the agony and ecstacy of human encounters eh.....

This is an interesting poem....you talk of thinking of him, smiling about him...

Love, whether or not it's reciprocated, is one of the greatest feelings in the world....:)

You do a good job of expressing these feelings here...

Thanks for sharing

I would make him pay a humongous damage deposit.
