Talk to Me

You are not alone.

By Cassiie EtiennePublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I tell you I’m always here for you.You tell me that you know.Tell me everything, all your happy moments and your sad ones.I can see you hurting. But you always brush me off and tell me that you are fine.

I see myself in you, that’s the reason I know you lie.Why won’t you talk to me! Sometimes I get so mad at you because you say you feel lonely and that nobody understands you.But I’m here waiting for you to come to me, to tell me how you feel.

I tell you so many times, that you are not alone and that I care about you.But you continue to say anything to me.I don’t know what else to do. You confuse me.

There are times I feel like I made a breakthrough to you.You would start saying something to me.You say you feel better telling me. See I told you that you would.

I ask you then why do you shut me out?You tell me you just don’t want to burden me,You say sometimes you feel like I can’t help you.

I may sometimes not understand some of the things you go through.But I will always be there to listen and to try to understand.But then you go shut me out again.

I see you building up the anger, just like me.I don’t want you to go through it alone, like I did.I don’t want you to feel like no one isn’t there for you, like I didI want you to know I’m there for you, always.

But you don’t hear me when I say "talk to me."
