Unrequited Understanding

I see the world through your eyes,
I understand your every sigh,
But when it comes to me, you're blind,
You don't see the pain that I hide.

I listen to your every word,
I feel the emotions that you can't afford,
But when I speak, you don't hear,
You don't take the time to draw me near.

I'm always here for you, through thick and thin,
But it seems my own struggles are a sin,
You don't see the tears that I cry,
You don't notice when I silently sigh.

I worry that I'll always be misunderstood,
That my feelings will never be truly understood,
But I'll continue to be there for you, my friend,
Hoping that one day, you'll comprehend.
