Dani_California Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Its what you do best. Your words shrink to nothing as I drift away. I wont tell you not to reach for me because I know you don’t want to. The truth is in plain sight but my eyes avert its location. I don’t need you’re “tough love,” as you like to call it. I need a hug, a shoulder for my tears to land on, the feeling that I’m not a bother. I need my emotions recognized, not dismissed. “There’s nothing to be sad about.” There’s so much to be sad about. I wish you knew me as much as you say you do, but you don’t. If you did, you’d know I’m A b**** because I’m sad, distant because I feel pain, detached because the one person who has spent 3 years with me still doesn’t know how I feel, how I act or how to comfort me. I wish you knew how often I hide my emotions. You’d be surprised how many times I go to the bathroom to let out a few tears. How many time I bite my tongue to suppress my sadness. But you don’t know me so I know it’s not hard to Forget me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani_California Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Had to share it with someone. Put so much emotion into it and the person who I dedicate this poem to would simply...well...the poem should describe the reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRlonely Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I loved reading your poem. It suprises me how I can sympatize with what you wrote. I've known my ex boyfriend for over 3 years, we've been off and on since then... He's the person who I thought new me the most. I was wrong. I'm very hurt and lost. Thank you for posting this. Good luck, Dani! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
