If only I had that much from you

by Cathy   May 30, 2007


I wish I could tell you how I feel
these emotions inside of me I want to reveal
but I feel like I can't confide in you anymore
you don't take me seriously like you did before

With all the problems I've had I needed someone to talk to
and the only person I wanted to listen was you
with my issues with work, school, and even here at home
I find myself feeling all alone

I thought if I told you what was bothering me inside
you would take interest on the reasons I cried
I feel like I can't go on any longer feeling like this
and you ignore me as If I don't exist

I thought you were my best friend, you said I wasn't alone
and I know that I'm not a child anymore and I'm now fully grown
but even grown ups have problems and want someone to be there
just someone to listen, to act like they care

It only takes that much to make a persons spirit feel high
it only takes that much to keep them from wishing they could die
If only I had that much coming from you
maybe then you'd understand what I'm going through

    Hey Cathy

    This is an excellent poem. You get across the desperation, lonlieness and confusion that often follows when a loved one seems to longer care. An amazing heartfelt piece where you just poured your emotions out onto the page. Take care.

    ^^^ Being young I try to remember what you have said in this stanza! Sometimes I feel selfish because I forget about my parents feelings because they still need someone to listen to them as well even though they are adults and its not always about me......

    I also understand the feeling of a best friend leaving you like this...Its so hard Girl I know it!! I had my best friend leave me a year and a half ago for no reason at all she just dropped touch...BUT even though you feel alone now and you think there is no one to listen...someone is coming....I prayed that those feelings would go away * because I felt them too* and I was reunited with an old friend and we've been best friends for a year now!!

    Wonderful poem Cathy you expressed your feelings fairy clearly in this one!

    This is so heartfelt. Your emotions bring tears to my eyes. It is so hard to get throug h a day when you feel alone.

    It only takes that much to make a persons spirit feel high
    it only takes that much to keep them from wishing they could die
    If only I had that much coming from you
    maybe then you'd understand what I'm going through

    Thes lines are my favorite ones. If only people could understand.
    Take Care Cindy
