Why So Sad?



Why am I sad?
No I'm glad,
You still talk to me.

Are you still mad?
Angry words we had,
I pushed you away I see.

When I'm with you
My heart feels true,
I enjoy when you say we.

But I'm not blue
We are not through
I will us both be happy

Here I sit
Sad and shit
Because I hurt your soul

I bare and grit
Each kiss a hit,
A drug that makes me whole

You are my friend
Time that we spend,
 Far longer than a while

Letters I send
Fix words that offend,
I give my all to see you smile.

About this poem

My girlfriend asked me why it is I always seem sad when she's around. It wasn't her that made me sad, it was that I wanted to be with her all the time. I'd be sad when I realized that eventually the date would end and I'd go back to my dark lonely house.
