Ignorant
you don't see me
you don't hear me
as i confess my fears
or express through tears
that you are better
than this
yet you clench your fists
and grit your teeth
hiding beneath
your anger
is stranger
than not trying
even as I'm crying
and begging
you to love yourself
put your drugs
on the shelf
lay to rest
the mess you create
when you choose
to hate whatever
you can see
but when will you
choose to be
a bigger man
...for me...
but no
it's too late
i had to escape
the pain of us
no trust
no respect
as i sit and reflect
the damage done
it outweighs the fun
you could have been the one
but you wouldn't
grow up
were you too scared?
was it too much?
or did you just
not love me enough?
i loved this poem, it reminds me so much of a relationship i was in a long time ago.
