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
