Let Me Know.

Now,
Let me know...
When are you going to let me text you to ask if I can call you,
When are you going to let me call so I can apologize to you,
When are you going to come back so I can call mama and tell her about the plan,
When are you going to come back cause I have candles and a bottle of wine,
When are you going to come back cause I wanna support your dreams...
When are you coming back cause am getting tired of their questions if we still together,
When are you coming back cause I miss us going to the movies together-
Let me know if I can now get a lamp shade cause you hated direct lights,
Let me know if I can now change the door’s lock and share with you the keys,
Let me know if I still have the keys to your heart cause it’s freezing out here,
Let me know if it does freeze in your house when you’re alone,
Let me know if you feel lonely cause I surely do feel alone,
Let me know if you’re already seeing someone else cause it’s so much pain to bear,
Let me know if you still think of seeing me cause you’re the only face I want to see after waking up,
Let me know to my face if am gonna wake up next to you for the rest of my life...
Am drenched in utter emptiness cause you used to complete me,
Am in a prison of emotions and there’s no one to bail me out,
Am barricaded in a vault of desolation cause you used to be my charm,
Am jaded since you left and I can’t wait for the train to run me over,
Am ashamed cause I cheated despite making a promise,
Am ashamed cause the head that made the promise is not the one that broke it*,
If I only knew what to do to get you back...
If​ I have to write these poems and win awards just to get you back so I’ll...
... lets meet halfway.
