Heart Pounding.

I have a poem that I'm posting from a friends blog. This poem is awesome, such talent and use of words, it almost made me cry. You can just feel the pounding of the authors heart and the longing for something more. I wish I could write this good.


Just Be There

How can I make it stop?
Why won't it go away?
I know you don't understand,
So there's nothing you can say.

Talk til you're blue in the face.
It won't do you any good.
You don't know how I feel.
There's no way that you could.

Don't tell me that you know,
Or that you want to understand.
Don't try to comfort me.
Don't try to hold my hand.

Don't yell and scream at me,
But please don't walk away.
I want to know you're here for me,
And I need to know you'll stay.

The thoughts in my head
I can't fight on my own.
I need to feel your presence
So I know I'm not alone.

I won't reach out to you,
I may just sit and stare.
But just knowing you're around
Lets me know that someone cares.
