Words Unsaid

Unsaid words eat me alive, prisoner.
I'm unable to express myself,
For I have no one to talk to.

You used to be there for me,
Yet as time passes, you slowly slip away.
You always talk about your life.

When I confessed to you about my past,
You told me you'd always be there
To listen when I need someone to talk to.

Yet, I realize that you're no longer there.
You always have something on your mind.
You never take the time to listen.

You complain that I never tell you anything,
Yet, have you ever stopped to think
That maybe I'm trying to, but simply can't,
For you always interrupt.

I know I may sound harsh, but it's not intended.
I don't want to hurt your feelings.
I don't want you to never talk to me.

I simply need to express myself.
I need to talk to someone,
Because only you know about my past.
Only you know who I really am.

Unsaid, these words eat me alive.
Unable to express myself,
Because you simply won't listen.
Because you simply won't take the time...
