POEM STARTER
Submitted by em_andherbooks
Write a poem that describes the longing of a reader who falls hopelessly in love with a fictional character.
Eyes closed
When I close my eyes I see me
Open them
Why? I don't believe you
He's here in my mind so he's real
Sure it's not ideal
Sure you may think it's not real
But to me he is here
He's for me
He makes me feel happy
On the screen my heart feels delight
In my dreams as I sleep tonight
But why don't I feel him?
He's right here
Yet a constant fear of excepting reality
Talk to me
Why won't you talk to me
Surely he's real
Maybe he's in my mind
Constantly the thought makes me feel lonely
The idea that I may be over doing it
But he makes me feel safe
A constant escape
As I communicate to myself
That my love is true
Even if you aren't as close
I believe you are for me
Truly I'm not crazy for feeling this way
So I will stay in this fantasy
Of you and me
