I wish you knew… <br />How much it hurts when you turn away, <br />Refusing to look into my eyes, <br />How it stabs at my heart when words, <br />The only things I have, <br />Fall, meaningless, to the floor, unheard. <br />I wish you knew… <br />The sting of warm tears against a cold face, <br />The salty taste of sadness. <br />The desperate helplessness I feel as my world <br />Slowly slips from my grasp. <br />I wish you knew… <br />How much I need to be a part of your life, <br />To fall asleep nestled in your warmth. <br />How empty the nights are when I’m alone, <br />Sleeping fitfully in a cold bed. <br />I wish you knew… <br />How hard it is to find someone <br />Who loves so deeply, <br />Hurts so fiercely, <br />And loves so truly. <br />Perhaps someday you’ll know…<br /><br />Sheila Papaleo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wish-you-knew/
