1-5-09 Poem by Audrey O'shea

Driving my car, just cruising, as my heart scars and starts bruising.
Every time I blink, I see your face, then about you I think, and
My heart begins to race.
Such impact, a heavy force, praying we don’t lose contact, feeling
Strong remorse. My heart won’t let me forget,
All the things in my past I regret. You see me how I am, I can’t
See you, I catch glimpses, thinking damn… but I don’t know
What to do. I get choked up and can’t speak, I wish I could show you
How much you make me weak. It’s different with you,
You’re not like anyone else, the feeling so new, I think about it
When I’m by myself. I wish you’d call, because I’ve begun to fall,
And I lost it all…
