Don't Just Tell Me What I Want To Hear.

closet boxes 2002

Why are you here if you don't want to be

if you want to leave, just go

it hurts me more to see you here

as we watch our hatred grow.

Why do you stay if you want to go home

why do you try if you see we can't last

when you know this just makes no sense

when we wish that we could have the past.

Why must you always say you love me

if you are better off alone

why do you never argue to my face

insist on fighting on the phone.

Why can't you tell me how you really feel

and not tell me what I want to hear

a life without you is bad enough

but it's a life without love that I do fear.

I really like this one. May be the person is not a player, may be just more scared that his opinions and feelings heard by the one he really loves, will cause her to leave or get mad?? At least thats whats happening to me, but this poem opened my eyes. It's odd, every poem I've been reading is relating to me right on the nail! kick ass work on this one!

I like this poem.In a way, I can relate to it...I used to be in almost the exact same situation...but then, I decided to face it and pretty much just went off...I'm still with her and things are a lot better now because we both realized it couldn't be that way...Hope everything turns out alright for you...
