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

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
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
