After all the distrust <br />All the pain <br />All the beating and isolation <br />I meet you <br />I told myself ill never open up again <br />As each time I do I'm hurt <br />You told me I can open up <br />I can trust you <br />That your different <br />You'll never give up on me <br />You show it most of the time <br />You've proven you can withstand it <br />Your life was threatened an still you stood <br />But it comes to be now your gone <br />You say your always here for me <br />You'll be here when I need you <br />These past few weeks say otherwise <br />I needed you by my side <br />I cried terrified and alone <br />Lost and unsure <br />I call and get it'll be ok <br />That you can do this <br />Everytime your desperately needed <br />Everytime I really need you here your not <br />You call later again to say I'm here for you <br />Ill never give up I'll always be here <br />Anytime you need me <br />No your not calling isn't being here <br />You can't always call <br />I can't always call <br />Calling is not always helpful <br />Yeah we talk for hours if you call <br />Then what we hang up <br />It doesnt make me better <br />I need a person here <br />To dry my tears to cry with me <br />To hold me when the world is crashing <br />Your not here anymore <br />Your a voice I keep hearing <br />Your not here your being heard <br />There's a difference<br /><br />Kerrie Maurer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/being-heard-not-being-here/
