I just dont see it
Why you felt the need
To poke and stab
Insult and drag
After years and years of suffering
I always end up muttering
And stuttering
My mind is cluttering
With hatred and shouts
Never allowed to come out
And be heard
I just want sweet words
And to be accepted
Cause it hurts to be rejected
And disrespected
Want the best for me
But I end up neglected
I end up screaming for acceptance
Pounding on glass
You didnt pay attention
When you know I have
A fear of rejection
My words falling on deaf ears
I sit alone and ponder
What you truly think of me
What you wanna think of me
The words you failed to say
The words you failed to hear
It feels like you are never near
I feel it in my heart
You're there but at a distance
I try to reach
You push just out of my grasp
And I call
Out into the silence
But then I notice I'm alone
The tears well up once more
I cry silently
It echoes as they fall
I fall
Tumbling down into the dark
I see someone in the distance
Huddled over like me
Fallen like me
Those echoes were their tears
She reached out
To express the understanding
He noticed her in the distance
Getting closer
She wiped his tears
And he wiped hers
She extended her hand smiling
He reached out to hers
She shook his hand
And introduced herself
He fumbled over his words
As he said his name
She told him
He's not alone anymore
Shyly he grinned
And said the same
She blushed and shook his hand
He tugged on hers a bit
She tilts her head in a daze
As he gently pulls her close
She blushed and pulled him close
Fully embracing
His newfound companion
She holds him crying
This time in happiness
He let's his tears fall
Holding on tight
She holds tighter crying harder
Rubbing her back
He let's himself break down
She rubs his silently
He leans to her ear
Trying to speak
She waits patiently
Uttering the words "love me gently"
She inhaled deeply and replied
"I already do"...
