I Just Need Answers


Do you even see

how much you hurt me.

I don’t think it’s normal

for this in a relationship.

 

I regret not telling you

everything I’m thinking.

But if I did, I know you,

you’d beat yourself up,

for no good reason.

 

You’d hurt yourself purposefully

then repeat the whole process.

Upsetting me more

and not fixing our problem.

 

You don’t seem to listen

but when you do, you’re distracted.

I start a conversation,

and you completely

ignore me.

 

I don’t mean to offend

I just can’t take much more

nonsense.

I love you so much,

but I don’t understand.

 

I just wish you’d explain

how you feel about me.

But you claim you can’t

or is it that you don’t want to.

 

I wish you’d just listen

rather than repeating this dance.

It makes me feel foolish

and unimportant to you.

 

Please tell me your thoughts

and tell me the truth.

Do you really love me

or is this just only a hoax?
