I feel confusion all around me, <br />Locked in this room, I wish to be loved by you, <br />By the time I reach you, you have chosen, <br />And the one you have chosen is not me, <br />I lack the love I need. <br />And for this I wait and bleed! <br /> <br />I sit here wrapped in self pity, <br />Hoping for an undecided fate, <br />Surrounding my self in Death’s image, <br />Reaching for that latent picture that I have of you. <br />And for this I wait and bleed! <br /> <br />Tonight I will long for you, <br />In my bed my love is true, <br />Feeling bad for all that’s wrong. <br />If I’ve hurt you, I apologize for all I’ve done. <br />And for this I wait and bleed! <br /> <br />To be or not to be, <br />That is the question, <br />The answer’s hidden among all that is to come. <br />I feel desperate I feel pathetic. <br />And for this I wait and bleed! <br /> <br />Love is the answer, <br />To all my problems, <br />Your love is the only cure to my depression, <br />But the truth is that you didn’t choose me! <br />And for this I wait and bleed! <br /> <br />(12/13/2005)<br /><br />Michael Koelliker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wait-and-bleed/
