Click hereLike a knot in my stomach I can't unwind
Like a ball in my throat I can't clear
Like a flame I can't blow out
It's ever present, nagging, tugging, pulling
Like watching a pot of water that won't boil
Like waiting for the bus that never comes
Like that phone call that won't ring
Forever waiting, wanting, thinking
Need consumes me.
i feel
this need
bleeding out
and down
drowning
any thought out
that isn't him.

take away 4 like a's and you will greatly improve this poem. First two lines have a unique feel, add a few more original similies to replace waiting for the bus and the watch pot not boiling and you will also find your poem more enjoyable.
maybe you already did make these changes but had already submitted the poem, maybe you like it best as is.
