As I lie here
Wasted and shaking:
You hold my heart,
Free for the taking.

I'm going insane
My mind I have lost it:
I'm shaking, crying--
Here, in my closet.

Where are you?
What's happening?
Where have you been?
I'm scared, confused,
My thoughts in...

Help me! Help me!
Read all about it--
I'm dying
I'm crying
Hear me shout it.

Love me,
Please love me?
Where are you?

This was a bit mournful,but I like the meaning of love in it. So many things that only a poet could do,and expressing things is one of them. You,there have a talent for expressing the feelings! ;)
