Poem For Someone…
New poem, was meaning to write it all weekend but couldnt bring myself to do it.
What do you say:
When you tell someone you love them,
And they say nothing in return,
When they walk away in silence,
And dont ever stop and turn,
Committing yourself to someone,
Only to be spurned,
Its hard to be open with someone,
When its not what they want to know,
Its hard to tell your true feelings,
When you know what will no doubt come,
All the tears, the heartache,
The lonelyness and the pain,
I keep telling myself no,
But its all happening again,
You have to ask, is it worth it?
This ‘love’ is just suffering and hurt,
Why bother to buy the drinks,
Why bother to even flirt?
Its hard to find a reason,
When you know this pain will come,
Its hard to undo whats been said,
And whats already been done.
