You'll never understand, <br />Because you don't want to, <br />If you took the time to look inside, <br />You'd see how many tears really pass through these eyes, <br />How many times I've tried to scream for help and no one has heard, <br />How much it hurts when you overlook me like I'm not good enough, <br />And how I have to try not to fall apart, <br />When nothing's right and everything's wrong, <br />If you really looked, <br />You'd see how much I really loved him, <br />And how much I really miss him, <br />How much I try to keep it together, <br />When I'm consumed by grief, <br />I really wish you'd try, <br />Try, for heaven's sake, <br />That's all I ask, <br />If you saw the real me, <br />You'd feel remorse, <br />Because, between you, <br />It's you that's made me like this, <br />Twisted up inside, <br />So so angry, <br />And sad, too sad for words, <br />A tear is sliding down my soft cheeks, <br />I don't brush it away and try to compose myself, <br />Why wipe my tears if I still want to cry? <br />Why give up if I still want to try? <br />So, I won't give up trying, <br />Not quite yet, <br />You've won the battle but you'll never win the war, <br />I'll try and make you see, <br />Make you see what you've turned me into, <br />Only then will I be able to go on, <br />Please understand, <br />It's all I ask...<br /><br />Amber Millar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ll-never-understand-2/
