Heart, Mind, and Soul

This poem was about a boy I really liked in high school, then one day I got to school and I saw him kissing another girl. As a teenager I thought my world was over. I was really good friends with the girl so it broke my heart and I felt like she had stabbed me in the back but really she had no idea what was going on. It was him the whole time, stupid teenage boys, but I got over it pretty quick.

Heart, Mind and Soul

I see you sitting, staring at me thinking I don’t know. I have watched you for so long. We both gaze at each other; I feel my heart pounding. I see you looking my way, I look at you; we sit gazing into each other’s eyes. You know that you can feel my heart pounding, not even realizing what you mean to me. I long to feel your hand your hand squeezing so tight; then it happens. We sit close, not seeing the world around us. I feel my heart jump from my chest. Talking to air, not hearing the words, just watching as you pull me closer, I wanted to die in your arms. Then you walk away, not knowing what to do, sitting there in awe. I wanted to run after you. I walk away, but my mind, my heart, my soul is screaming for you to come back to me. I want you back in my arms; I can’t let go. I won’t let go; screaming for help deep inside. You found someone else, someone whose heart will jump too. I feel I no longer have a heart, a mind or, a soul. I’m just sitting there with nothing to say, nothing to do, pleading come back. I can’t let you go; I want you to be mine. I want you for my own, but you found another, someone more pretty than I. I’ve lost you but I will never forget you. You will always be with me; you are my heart, my mind, and my soul.
