I Am Lost Without

by Erica N Peterson

This is a series of poems, with lots of different points of views involved - Peeta, Gale, Katniss, Finnick who is my favorite, Haymitch... you get the idea. Some are free-verse, some are rhyming, but all are beautiful.

2. My Mockingjay

I Am Lost Without Poem #2, Gale's point of view. I decided to make line breaks between stanzas, but if you don't like it, just review and tell me.

---

Can't you tell that I am lost?

With all you do, at what the cost

You put me in, when you're with him,

I can see no chance to win.

---

I wish I did, and you don't see

The anguish that you force on me.

And every minute you're not here,

It's him, not me you're ever near.

---

I'm weeping, still lamenting,

And I'm forever repenting

Of the deed that made you hate me,

Though I don't know it, you berate me.

---

If you left for him forever,

I don't know if... no, I'd never

Forget the pain inside me, burning,

Never compensate my yearning

---

For you, it's you, please, see,

Don't punish, torture me,

For wanting you all for my own,

For something I have never known.

---

And even though you're always his,

And you, oh, I'll always miss,

I'll always remember... nay,

Cherish memories of my Mockingjay.
