You Poem by Melissa Joy Chesky

So cold the nights alone,
So deep the vermillion marks,
And it's because of you,
My love.
The one that lifted spirits
To the highest,
And then threw them off the
Highest peak,
Like the charitable penny
Into the hopeless wishing pond.

I await your touch
Across my face
Your sight on me,
But it comes distantly;
Why do you make me
Feel so unloved?
Why do you stand there
And let me suffer?
Temptation is too great,
Want turns into lust;
Why watch me as I
Dismantle myself?
Why watch instead of stop
This anguish?
