You're the conformist

Why do you shut me out?
All I want to do is help
You think I haven't got the time
Well I'm making the time
I'm here standing  in line
I'm here, am I too late?
I'm here, and I've got time to wait
Wait around, till you make up your mind
Wait around, till you make the time.
Time to see me
Time to find out why
Why I'm here,
But then we'll just life!
You thought I went away
Maybe I id
But I'm back.
Now I'm trying to hard
Not to shut you out.
But you have no idea
What I'm going on about.
I'm scarred deeper than the eye can see
My blood runs thicker than it's supposed to be
Cos that's whay happens when everyone goes away
Day turns to night,
Then night turns to day.
Life goes on
But I'm all by myself
The tears run dry as I wish for somebody else.
I wished for the help
I no longer need
I grieved.
But then I got stronger
I stopped looking for a sign
Realised missing you was just a waste of my time
When you're the conformist
And I won't fall in line
Cos it just wasn't my place
And it just wasn't my time.
Was it yours?
Was it worth it?
Leaving me alone
My biggest fear is my self
And you left me on my own.
Are you happy?
If so why come back?
Why say you're content without me
Should I want you back?
Yet we're here,
Met at the same place
At the same time
Not waiting around
Not standing in line
No appointments
No formatlities
We met on a plane of reality
Bound by the consequence of our similarity.
So I look back into your eyes
And meet te tears I thought you'd already cried.
I see the lies.
But I can't handle this anymore
Can't forgive
Can't settle the score.
Can't be there to catch you
Everytime you fall apart
Can't be there to hold you
And mend your bleeding heart.
I'm not turning my back on you
I'm just walking away
I wish that you'd stop me
But you don't know what to say.
Cos yo haven't been there
And I've been through it all
You were never at home
When I tried to call.
Where were you
When there was no one else around?
Where were you
When I needed a friend?
When will you see
My wounds just won't mend?
So I guess we shut each other out
Cos we have no idea what we're going on about
I guess we're here just to fill the time
You're the conformist and I fell in line.

    I kind of wonder why there are so many line breaks,
    it may flow better with organized stanzas.

    Good poem none the less.
