You Sometimes Frustrate Me!

Sometimes it's like you don't even care

when I don't call or I'm not there

Caring for you is what I do,

but you seem to not to care it's true.

If I were never to call,

wouldn't phase you at all.



So what is it then, that I can't be there?

Is that why you seem not to care?

Why is it different from one day to the next

When you seem to be my friend I can't perplex.

I don't understand it and it frustrates me.

What's going on in that head is what I want to see.



You make me so frustrated don't you see,

it puts me in a place of misery.

It is not about missing you, but how you seem not to care.

It frustrates me because I can't always be there.



I want to be there and be a friend to you

I know you don't like to be alone it's true.

But when you shrug me off during the week,

it's hard to see the friendship you seek.

A friend to you is sometimes hard to be

especially when you sometimes frustrate me!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written in 2003. Sometimes my friends frustrate me. I wish I knew what went on in their head sometimes.

Moriah-your poem hits the nail squarely on the head---I believe life would be a lot easier if we could get inside our friend's heads sometimes and know if they really cared that we cared. Good luck with your writing.
