Book of Poems

See You

Why can't I stop?

Why can't I get back up once I've fallen?

I fell for you but you knew no better.

Why do you have to talk like you no nothing about me,

insult me at every opportunity.

Why do you have to be so mean?

Do you not know that I go through hell every day to look at you,

talk to you,

and not break down?

because I see you,

but you won't ever see me.

I know you

I want to care for you,

But you will shut me out

always shut me out.

I can't break down,

I have to hold it together so I get one last glimpse of you.

I have to ignore it when my breath catches.

Whenever I see you,

it catches and I do a doubletake,

looking again just to make sure it's really you.

Why do you have to be so mean?

You never have one nice thing to say to me,

to anyone.

Why do you have to be so mean?

The way you are,

It hits me more than anyone else.

And yet,

Someday,

I'll be big enough so you can't hit me.

Someday,

I'll be big enough so you can't hurt me.

Someday,

I'll be big enough

And

I

Won't

See

You.
