PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don't know the right way to say it

our lines of communication feel as if shut down

so I'll write it for you to read.

I feel abandoned and taken for granted

I feel like you listen to my problems

but see no point in showing you care

last night I cried

thinking things might be over sooner than expected.

I tell you I respect diversities

for their courage to overcome racism,

as I too was once looked down upon for my ethnic mix.

but you don't care.

You put them down for their "filth"

and it silently hurts me

that you don't show compassion towards me

by keeping your beliefs out of my mind.

It makes me feel that I have no one to trust in

if I can't put my faith in you

to occasionly comfort me and say things will be okay.

If marriage means adjusting

and respecting one another

than I'd sy we have a long way to go

if we're ever going to reach that point together.

In my mind, I compare this to the 1st relationship I had

where I'd come to him with concerns about us

and be brushed aside.

I feel like we're nothing more

than best friends.

I feel no deep connection anymore

that I thought we had in the beginning.

Remember the time I intoxicatingly cried in your arms for hours?

I'm still confused about why

but even more, it struck a chord

that you did'nt hold me and reassure me

making me feel needed

and wanted.

And all of that basically sums up

how I feel we've changed.

Or maybe the way we've always been

after the 1st few days.

Remember the time you wanted me to move in?

You were right there by my side the whole time

when we sat in my living room

calmly yet anxious , reasoning with my mom.

That was a time I remember clearly

because metaphorically, I want our relationship like that.

I needed you and you were there

holding my hand the whole time.

That's what I need in a relationship.

More than just friends.

I agreed to wait for you because I want us to go somewhere

other than just into bed.

I'm willing to do something I never have before for a man

wait.

And that to me says alot

so why can't you do something for me?

show me you care.

Please show me that compassionate side I know you have somewhere deep down.

I need to know I'm loved

needed

wanted

appreciated.

And if that's too much too ask

then I have no idea what else we can do
