Featured Poet - "You" by A'Myah Banks

This beautiful poem was submitted by A'Myah Banks. Congratulations on being our featured poet of the month!

You

When you said that I'm the one you wanted. The countless times
you said you loved me. The way your deep but fragile voice always managed
to put me to sleep. But those eyes, those eyes I can't seem to shake. I'll never
forget them. no matter how hard I try. You will always be part of me that I will never
let slip away. Heaven? Yeah, heaven was the way I felt when you held me close
to your chest. So close that all I could hear was the rhythmic beat of your heart.
I miss you. I want you back. I want your laugh, your sarcasm, your imperfection. 
I just want you. "Late at night when all the world is sleeping I stay up and think of
you, and I wish on a star that somewhere you are thinking of me too." Cause I need you.
I want so bad to be back in your arms. For you to hold me close like you used
too. For me to be yours, and you to be mine. Even as days grow old and my



memory starts to fade, never, never will I let you go.
