when a man confronts his soul,
to chose which way to go,
he always has the questions,
of 'how far?' and 'what do i know?'
the answer to the latter,
to 'what do i know?',
is usually explainable,
and can be tan-gi-ble.
to the former, that is 'how far?',
this is the matter at hand,
for one never knows, inside his soul,
just how far it is for a man
to go about blind,
walking this way and that,
for such a long time,
that she knows not that
the guy for which she talks to,
about her problems every day,
is hurt by them more and more,
but, he does not say
how badly that she hurts him,
because he loves her so,
even though it pains him,
he just can not let go
all the conversations,
that they normally have,
whether or not they will kill him,
his mind is split in half...
he wishes to say,
what is on his mind,
but does not want to ruin,
all the talks, and
conversations they've had,
even though they might kill him.
"can't you see him?
can't you hear him?"
can't you read between the lines??
or is it just,
to god damn hard,
to think with all your brain?
and sorry just does NOT cut it!
so please just do not try,
because if you, say one more word,
he actually might, break down and cry.
so, while your telling him,
about what could have been,
with all the guys who've used you,
and how stupid you have been,
please, oh please, remember,
how much you said to him,
and oh just please imagine,
how much pain he is in.
he is the one who loves you,
and can not let you go,
for eight years now, he's loved you,
just wanted you to know.
and will he stop,
oh probably not,
so this game will most likely end him.
and no matter how,
far he does travel,
he will not just stop and end it.
so, go to sleep,
with all your dreams,
of the guys who tell you how good you'll be,
but, just think,
when you wake up,
will you ever think of me?

Nicely written, the commas make it hard to read, I don't know if I'm supposed to be putting all the pauses in the poem as commas usually dictate...but overall very pretty, and very sad. Thanks for entering and sharing and good luck

Amazing
Okay so I have tears in my eyes, for so often there are people that we be-friend and they do not realise our true emotions towards them, I do not think they dumb or blind just stupidly tangles in what they think love is not realising that the person that is always there to care and treat them well is what love is... yeah I know this feeling all to well(at the end of the day I just feel like a fool)
well penned and thanks

Awh
It made me feel pain and bad memories because i almost lost an amazing friend this way. I had no idea he liked me.. and i would always talk about my crushes and before long he hated me and i didn't know why. Well he got over me and now were good friends but yeah i cant imagine not having him. i really like this because it relates to a lot of people. Great write! keep it up

Maybe you should tell her. He told me and we are cool now actually im talking to him, but thats not the point. If you feel like thats what you should do then go for it.
