Madeline Fazio Poems

This feeling in stomach
Can no longer be ignored
It stabs at my insides
As I tighten up this cord
...

These nervous games we play
Are losing their appeal and,
I can not keep living for the moment I see you
You own my heart so selfishly
...

I see you there and chills run down my spine
It’s like that first time you hear a song,
That touches something deep down inside you
...

You didn’t say hello to me
You didn’t say I like you
You didn’t say I want to talk
You didn’t say I love you
...

Not to sound trite
But there’s something I must get off my chest
Please do not put up a fight
To get to the point, I will try my best
...

Overjoyed when I finally see your name
Should I make the first move or can I count on you
The sight of your name leaves me so anxious and tempted
But I fear that you might see my message as desperate
...

I’ve done it, I’ve said hi
Now all that’s left to do is sit and wait for your reply
A minute passes and THERE IT IS
A simple “yo, ” what do I do
...

Your response confuses me
What do I say to you in return?
How can I reply without sounding dense
Why is it so hard for me?
...

It’s happening again
The words just seem to leave my mind
I stare in silence I don’t know what to say
There is so much that I could say
...

I feel so upset and disgusted
All alone with nowhere to turn...No one to turn to
Screaming at the top of my lungs,
And still no one hears me
...
