POEM STARTER

How could something so small take up so much space in my heart?

Compose a poem inspired by this question.

Just One

You.

I know you.

I’ve seen you somewhere before, haven’t I?

You behind me

Sitting in my shadow

How do you do friend?

Where have you been all this time?

What are you doing here now?

I don’t quite follow

I don’t quite follow

Ah, here on business I see!

Well it’s a fine time to be around!

Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment?

How long I’ve been waiting to do this?

Please

I don’t quite follow

Can’t I just have one hug?

Just one?

Why are you behind me?

Why can I not see you?

Can’t you show me your face?

I don’t remember what it was like

Before you

With just a thought of mine you appeared

With the blink of an eye

With a snap of my fingers

You came…

But why?

Please

Just one

Just one hug, then I’ll be on my way

I know you better then I know myself

You are so imperfectly perfect

Yet I’ll never see your face

I’ll never see you

The closer you come the farther I go

Down the rabbit hole

My mind is a place where I cannot get stuck

But I did

And here you are

Please

Just one hug

Just one look

I don’t quite follow

I don’t quite understand

Why

It’s so simple

Yet so hard

I often find myself staring up at my ceiling late at night

Then you show up

We talk for hours

I don’t even notice the time passing

I never understood you

I could never quite follow

You mean too much

It feel sick

It feels like I’m sick

Don’t you ever get tired of talking to yourself?

Can’t I see you

Just once

Can’t I have just one hug

Stupid, stupid, stupid

Your voice is to comforting

You can’t imagine what I’d give

To see your face

To give you one hug

Just one

You are one mystery I will never solve

I feel you coursing through my veins

With every thought there’s you

And you can’t just give me one hug

Just one

It’s stupid I know

But you don’t know what I’d do

Just to really have one

Just one

Like you
