Confuse Me

Folder: 
The Old Stuff

I think your profession has become

�Confuse me�

Because that�s all you do to me.

What am I supposed to think or feel

When my �best friend� kisses me?

You should know better than that�

It won�t help me to heal�

I just keep the wound open,

Thinking there�s still a chance.

Be clear to me�

You can�t do this to me.

You�re just hurting me.

More.

What do my tears mean to you?

I cry out to you,

Tell my feelings to you.

I don�t think I�m getting through to you.

How hard is it to understand my love for you?

How hard is it to comprehend my need for you?

How do you not know how much I love you?

Am I asking too much of us?

Does this friendship even make you and me an us?

I keep wishing for a different kind of us.

My mind flows with thoughts,

Always of that us.

An us with love, passion, trust �

THAT kind of us.

But it�s gone.

I have to let go.

I have to stand strong.

I have to conquer myself.

I have to be fair to you

No matter how much�how much I love you�

Sometimes, people say or do things, but not have any meaning behind it. WE, OURSELVES, create the feelings we have from the things they say or do, cause we are hoping one way and they don't mean it the same way as you do. Sometimes, they tell us things to make us feel better or tell us things they think we want to hear. Don't be deceived by this... it's totally meaningless.

If one is sincere, it's not a peck on the cheek, or a word or two, it's showing it every single day in gestures and giving of one's heart. We can't make someone love us. They can like us, but never love.

"Wishing" doesn't make it happen and neither will leaving little things around hoping they will see the love in your eyes. They already know that 'love' is there.

Never beg for love!!!!!

This is more of a rant...

But you ahve got it
out of your system...

I love :-

"I have to let go.
I have to stand strong.
I have to conquer myself.
I have to be fair to you"

But at the beginning, I would use the
word "confused".....not "confuse"
I think that would work more...

You'll never need a therapist !!!!
You get it all out in your own time and way...
(whether it's autobiographical or just
plain made-up....it helps one to vent !!)
