A couple more poems…

I liked and trusted you

Because I liked the view

I thought I saw a nice, caring person

Who had lots of love to give

And lots of laughs to share

Someone who was understanding

And wouldn’t ever judge

But now I regret

That I didn’t really see

On the outside you’re the person I fell for

But behind closed doors

You’re so very differen’t

Inconsiderate and impatient

Demanding, rude, and hateful

What did I ever do

To cause you to hurt me like you do

All I did was care

And want the best for you

But I guess it wasn’t enough

There must of been something else you wanted

Something I couldn’t give

And I’ll pay the price

For the view I thought I liked

I feel so isolated and alone

Like no one knows what I’m going through

Or how I hurt so deep inside

No one can hear my silent screams

Or see the invisible blood I bleed

No one can see through the mask I wear

To see what’s inside of me

They don’t see the sadness or anger

Or all the guilt from things that weren’t my fault

They don’t see all the love I have

But no one to give it to

People only see what they want to

And they don’t see the real me

So this mask I’ll continue to wear

Until someone cares enough to look deeper

to see me for who I really am

To see all my good qualities and my flaws

But to not care about that

Because they’re willing to take the bad with the good

Someone who’ll love me for me

And who wouldn’t change a thing
