Well, love, can you hear me?

sarah-c-allen Poems

Hello, can you hear me? Lately it seems that I’m always the one standing here Waiting for you to say Those words of love, for attention In reply to my precious words Repeatedly, I’ve said them lately Yet you haven’t said them at all I always have to **** or poke you Or think of something fascinating to say Just hoping to catch your eye I might be yours, but still Do you ever think of me throughout your day? Shrugging me off and not saying a word Hurts a little, each and every time you do so Busy bee you may be But you said I was a priority Yet it seems I have been left behind Lately you only want to talk or pay attention to me When it’s convenient for you I'm a human being, don't you see I feel for you more than you know Realize that even just a couple of words From you fills me with complete glee I strive to keep you happy Whenever I need you Many times throughout a day When I feel tired and lonely All I want is you to comfort me I just want your love, so please… Could you say something? Love me just a little more, keep me in your heart Give me some of your time please I've been patient, but I can't wait forever Putting in the effort is your job too I'm tired of feeling like a fool Just for needing you Tell me you love me, it's all I want to hear Those words of sweetness Let them fall from your lips Caress my cheek with your fingertips Look me in the eye and don't flinch
