Why Can't You Love MeA Poem by Kaitdated 11/26/07
Why can’t you love me like I love you? Why can’t you see through the mask and the glue? Why can’t you see the girl I want to be? Why can’t you see her bursting out of me?
I didn’t mean to let you get so close you could see Inside me to my vulnerability You didn’t mean to let yourself in But I didn’t think it would hurt in the end
I thought I had to be so fake around you That you wouldn’t like me if I were true But by letting you in I let you see Right through my lies, right through me
You didn’t let it all slip away in this bend You didn’t hate me because I tried to pretend Instead you offered me friendship be lending me your hand I took it not knowing the demand
Everyday it took its toll Without you I couldn’t be whole I had you and yet I didn’t have you I couldn’t figure out what to do
I didn’t know if you just pretended not to see Or if you were truly blind to all the clues you received from me You kept your door locked so I couldn’t see The way you truly felt about me
You got so close I felt you were part of my being Until the end I never ended up seeing That we were always going to be friends and nothing more that’s what I thought was behind your door
My heart was shattered My entire being battered Who are you? Who am I? Why did I have to die?
Why couldn’t you just let me see that I was part of your being? That with each day you loved me more and more that’s why you couldn’t attend my funeral
Why couldn’t I see that you love me like I love you? Why couldn’t I see through your mask and glue? Why couldn’t I see that you loved the girl within me? Why couldn’t I just accept life and let be? © 2008 KaitReviews
