Days and days, <br />That's what keeps me thinking. <br />Him and her, <br />That's what keeps me going. <br />Thought by thought, <br />That's what keeps me from crying. <br />One word before the next, <br />That's what tells a story. <br /> <br />I just want to know what he's thinking about, <br />I just wish I could help, <br />But there's a few things in life that just aren't said. <br />Yea sure we can all fake smiles, <br />But they're never true til you're good at playing pretend. <br />A childhood with a gruesome future, <br />Is what really chooses your path of existence. <br /> <br />It makes me wonder if what he's thinking, <br />Is it my fault? <br />I wonder if he'll eventually tell me, <br />Or will I have to pry? <br />I don't want to make people tell me, <br />I was never good at force or being in demand. <br /> <br />I just wish I could know these things, <br />I hate being unaware and confused. <br />I hate wanting to cry, <br />All because I'm always thinking that it's my fault, <br />Even if you try your best to convince me that it's not. <br /> <br />I just wish I knew, <br />How to make you smile, <br />And keep it. <br />I wish I knew, <br />How to make you laugh, <br />Instead of making a fool of myself. <br /> <br />There's somethings that I wish I knew, <br />But I suppose I'm just going to have to wait. <br />Too bad I'm not really that patient, <br />Kind of ironic, <br />Don't you think?<br /><br />Shannon Nicole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-wish-i-knew/
