Love Poem: Mkay

Mkay

She doesn’t seem 
To want to be held 
She’s beginning to think 
I don’t appreciate 
The comfort she provides 
  
We’ve been at this for some time now 
You’ve been gone for some time now 
By the time you make it back 
To where I am 
You’ll be gone again 
  
I don’t seem 
To want to be held much 
You just can’t turn me off 
And turn me on 
Or turn me on just to turn me off 
  
I’m not angry 
I’m not that far from anything 
I may see you later, I may call 
And I just may not come back at all 
  
We’ve been at this for some time now 
You’ve been gone for some time now 
By the time you make it back 
To where I am 
You’ll be gone again 
  
I don’t think I’ve ever been held 
By someone and not something 
I’m not sure I’ve ever been forgiven by love 
I don’t know if I’ve been callused 
Or I just can’t really feel
