Don't You Know

Often us mermaids go unnoticed.

Don't you know
I remember you
I love you from a endless time
You are in your world
I'm waiting for you to break free
I am a magnet for all kinds

Don't you know
I love you
I remember you when you was lost
I know you when no one else sees
I'm just waiting for you to grow as passionate about me as I am about you

Don't you know
I call
I text
Because I care
Because I love you

Don't you know it hurts
When you lie, ignore, reject

Don't you know my heart
Is outside my skin
It bleeds
It hurts for you
Because the universe connected my soul to yours

On this cold night
I cannot sleep
I can only think
Why he doesn't love me like I love him
Why he ignores me
He sees my call
He sees my text
No matter how friendly
He hates it
Why

I am in the water
Wanting to grow wings
To fly to you
But you wouldn't care
You would fly to the next tree
You will laugh with your friends
At me
Because I call n text you
They join in
Because they want a girl like me
They hate you have what they want
You don't hear the hidden undertones to their laughs

Don't you know
I don't have much time
I fought in too many battles
I fought in too many wars
I am scarred beyond recognition
I am tired in my soul
I am weary
You don't understand
This love...
This love... It's...
Is bigger than you and I
Can ever fathom

Goddamn this is exactly what i'm going through right now. Unrequited love is a b***h, and this poem reflects that exceptionally well.
