my other half

poem by: Taylor Blair
Written on May 29, 2013

Girl, what's with all the long faces?
You're looking for love in all the wrong places 
When are you going to realize
That I'm the best you have?
Because time after time 
You've done had it bad 
On my list you're all the way at the top
And it's like Ripley's: You believe it or not 
You're part of what I am 
And some of what I'm not 
So put us both together and 
Forget it we'll be too hot!!!
I mean, whenever we're alone 
It seems like everything is cool 
But I have these inner feelings 
And I know you feel it too 
I was always right beside you 
But I guess you didn't see 
Cause you were always chasing other girls 
Plus, I was doing me 
The best moments of my life 
Happen when you're around 
And when I think about them
Immediately I smile
You may not know how I'm feeling
Cause I don't want you to know 
Girl I want you to just feel 
Once you feel, then I'll be real
I will let you know the deal
But for now I will let you chill
One day you will see the picture 
And you'll see the picture
And you'll know just what I meant 
By all these words I'm writing 
And from what's been happening 
I just don't know how to describe 
Or how much clearer I can get 
That I'm the best one for you 
And the other ones aint shit!
Are you I n doubt? You don't believe? 
You don't think it's what it seems?
Stop and think of all your ex's 
Now look at me, what do you see?
If my other half was gone 
How the hell would I survive?
Everything would be all wrong
And I wouldn't be alive
Without you, I am nothing 
I can't live without you, Babe
If you go then I must follow
Cause my heart just won't be pumping
Sweetheart, can't you see
That I am you and you are me?
That you are everything I am not 
And that we are meant to be?
I just have to mention that
I'm taking nothing back
Cause everything I have written 
Isn't fiction, its fact 
All along I have been right there 
Through all the bad, the sad, and the tears 
I have waited everyday 
Hoping that my time is near
I must be strong enough to write 
That everyday you're on my mind
I think about you all the time 
And I my head, your mine 
Now, I know this poem is long
But I have to let it out 
You are where my heart belongs
You are what I'm all about
I think that you should know 
That I will never let you go
I will always be here for you 
And I'm always going to show
That's the way my life tends to go 
You may not notice you may not know 
That the one you love the most 
May be right under your nose 
You are my all, my everything 
The one that makes me want to sing
My love and my best friend
The one I'm here for till the end 
You are my breath, you are my air
The whom I give all my care
You are me and I am you 
You are the one who makes me glad
You are and will always be 
MY OTHER HALF

Half of anything is still less complete. Be a complete person first and share parts of you without giving up any part of the whole
Elizabeth J White commented:
wonderful work
Royce B commented:
This is an amazing poem and encompasses experiences I've been through myself. Thank you for sharing this. This brought up a lot of old emotions and memories.
Roxanne Dubarry commented:
You are two separate people trapped inside of one human body! The voice of self discovery can be found through the poetic artform of poetry! Try praying to God!
Martyn Grindrod commented:
Long but brilliant. Well done

Shallowness trails behind Her unsteady mind She's so unaware of her loose fitting ways, Her frequent mishappening, Of her misleading character. She knows no destination For her actions lead her nowhere But in a circumfere... Read more
