PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You ask me to open up,

You tell me to talk

You tell me you want to know

You beg me to tell you where I am

You know there’s something missing

You know that I’m nor telling you everything

You wonder why I won’t share

You act like you care

You say it hurts when I can’t explain

But the truth is you never really listen

It wouldn’t matter if I told you or not

You just don’t care

Sometimes I wish you’d at least pretend

But then I realize that perhaps it might not just be you

Maybe I just don’t care either.

Those moments when the world goes dark

When all the bad memories return

You see it flash across my face but you never ask why

You think you know, that I’m just pushing you away

You never consider I have a past

You just don’t care that it haunts

Every touch, every moment, every embrace

It’s not something I can forget

Oh how I wish I could

Maybe I would sleep in peace, not be afraid to touch

Maybe the days would be filled with light

Maybe the fear of facing the dark would pass

But the truth is you never ask, you don’t want to know

The words are hard to find

You don’t understand the need for space

You take it personally, when in fact it has nothing to do with you

But the truth is you never ask, you don’t want to know

Why it hurts me so much you don’t ask

Just try and continue and push your way past

That solid force that lingers forever present

Never going to pass

But the truth is you don’t care you never ask

You demand a hand to hold when you need it

But you never see the pain it brings

For you to assume I’m just pushing you away

But you never ask

So back I go into the dark space

Where nobody knows, but nobody asks

To despise yet another who doesn’t care

And never asks
