Do you see me? (I'm only human)

I cared for you once
I called you wonderful
and you tore my heart out
told me to deny what I felt
to get over my pain

You told me to go fuck someone else
and got angry when I did
You told me to grow some more backbone
and tried to break me when I finally could
I could never be good enough
and God knows I tried
because I fell for your fucked up logic

I told you to meet someone new
someone to hold and care for
who could give you the love
that you needed
that you couldn't feel from me

and then you did
and then you drifted
away from me
and blamed me
and she blamed me
and you both blamed me
and your friends blamed me
and hated me

And we haven't spoken since
I doubt we ever will
but I still wonder if you care
or will ever seek my friendship

I can't begin to talk to you
I can't expect you to listen
but know that I still do care
more than the fucked up shit between us

I care because I said I always would
and that won't change
you can trust that I will always care
and be here when you're ready
just to talk

    'Welll done "Little Ribbit" I liked this very much! Really emotional. Great piece. This was straight from the heart.You really released the anger left inside of you. It's so difficult to stop caring for someone even though you know they are hurting you.
    I see that you have classified it as Personal. Thankyou very much for sharing Well done, keep it up

    *hugs* Not at all. I think the simple words were the best thing for saying what I needed to say.

    .. Mew. The redundancy of simple words is ripped away to expose something new and exciting. On a level, I can agree with you. (Hope that doesn't make you pissed..)
