Can'T You Help Me Please? Poem by John Thorkild Ellison

Can't you help me please, I'm getting frantic!
The trouble, of course, is I'm too romantic;
Every minute of the day I think of you
As I wander about with too little to do,
I live for the times that we're together,
'Cos when you're not near there's no sunny weather,
Just rain and mist and cloudy skies
Bereft of the sunshine of your eyes,
There are things to do, but they don't matter,
I waste all my time in mindless chatter
Forever watching the minutes crawl past
Till we're reunited again at last!
It doesn't take a genius to realise
I'm struggling to gain an impossible prize:
I want you to love me. Without you my life
Is made up of turmoil and meaningless grief -
There's just no remedy and no relief.
I honestly don't know what to do!
I don't know WHY I'm addicted to you.
It's true, it's real, it's not science-fiction!
Can love be destroyed by crucifixion?
Shall I murder my soul and extinguish my heart?
It would take a tsunami to drive us apart! !
The only solution is to say goodbye,
But it just wouldn't work. Love will never die.
