Muddled Eemotions Poem by layla joseph

These muddled emotions
The pictures running through my mind
All off you but the truth so different
Different then you would expect

The word love flitters around
But doesn’t come close to describing
What I really think of you
Cause love it isn’t

Trust maybe but it runs deeper then that
It runs to a need
A need to feel safe, protected and even maybe looked after
These are the feelings you invoke in me

Just by being near
When im scared and lonely
A hug from you is all I need
A smile a touch
Can make anything go away

But with you unwilling to give me any of this
How this is going to work
I have no idea
These feelings wont just go away

No matter how much I will them to
I can scream and cry
And their they still are
I can run and hide
And yet their still their
Following me around
