You

I don't get you

 

You, talk and talk to others

But when I try to talk

You're quieter than a mouse

 

You are impossible,

For me to understand

 

Sometimes you talk a lot

We talk about lots of things

 

Sometimes, lately most of the time

You seem to hate me

 

She tries to talk to you as well

Yet again, no reply

 

She says nice things to you

And you do as you please,

Acting like she isn't talkin' to you

 

You never reply

Unless of course,

Someone insults you

 

So, I say one thing,

To catch your attention...

It works, but you take it the wrong way

 

When I ask if you hate me

You just tell me that you're not in a good mood

 

Sometimes you talk to me

Sometimes you talk to her

 

But yet another day goes by,

With me being upset

Because you won't even say 'Hey.'

 

She says nice things, and she's being poliet

Yet you don't answer her

 

So, maybe if she doesn't talk

Maybe one day, you will do the talking....

Oh my, I love this poem. The depth in the relationship with this other person is intense and I love that. A weird image came into my mind as I was reading this: A girl standing on the corner of a street looking down the street as a guy walks away from her leaving her there wondering what is his problem.

Very realisitic. I really enjoy how it seems to be exactly what is going through your head. Great job :)

I really love this poem. I think that the relationship with the other person will get better...maybe the person is going through something they don't want to talk about..I know it's hard for me to open up sometimes...even to the people I love. I think this was good though. I feel like the person really is having a hard time in life. I know they seem like they hate you...but they don't...just give them some time. Thanks for sharing.

Boys... so confusing.

When I was reading this, I got the impression of "she" being a little girl, maybe a daughter and the person whose point of view we are seeing through being a wife or girlfriend stuck with frustration. Anyway, it was a good write, I enjoyed it

I can really understand this. Although with the male being the female and vice versa.

The problem with life is simple. We miss the people when they are gone. We wish to talk to them when they are gone. I like this poem. You hit the four corners of a relationship where we can't figure the bad from the good. I like the complete poem. The ending made the tale complete. A excellent poem.
